First off, why was Peter such a cocky jerk throughout the movie? I mean, I hated Edmond in the first movie and in this movie, I loved Edmond and hated Peter. Is that his character because he was not like this in the first movie.

Second, they've lived around 100 or 1000 years in Narnia as Kings & Queens but do they remember all of it? I mean, they remember growing up in Narnia? I don't know, it just seems weird how calm they seem to be from growing into adults in Narnia and than shrinking back down into kids. Can anyone explain this to me?

They kind of relate back to each other. Peter was so frustrated because not only did he lose his sovereignty, he lost his self-sovereignty. Kind of like when people are injured or become frail and lose their independence all over again, and people have to take care of them, limiting their freedom. They know it's necessary, but sometimes they resent it anyway.
Yes, they remember growing up in Narnia, but I think once they get back to England their proper mental ages reassert themselves. If they were adults, this might not be the case, but as kids the actual physiology brains are different. That might be why Peter has the most trouble accepting his "demotion" to youth again, because his experiences stuck with him, but all that wisdom was transferred into the mind of a teenager.
The time thing is sort of hard to explain. But basically, when someone from this world goes into Narnia, time stops in this world until they come back. And when everyone's in their proper world, the timelines don't run at the same speed. Narnian time usually runs faster, but I recall that in one of the books Lewis said it could be a thousand years have passed, or no time at all.

The fact that they attacked the 'castle' like that. Oh my goodness. And the love story between Caspian and Susan? WTH? So much deviation from the book.
