a) Walter is not sure about joining Jem and Scout for lunch.

We know that Walter is hesitant about joining Jem and Scout for lunch by his actions. In the passage Walter's face brightens when Jem encourages him to join them for lunch, then it quickly darkens. Jem also reassures Walter by saying their fathers are friends and Scout will not fight him anymore. These specific lines don't reveal too clearly about why Walter is hesitant to join the Finch's for lunch, but they do show his hesitation.
