Did he?

no

No he didn't. Cos Jenny when Jenny is telling the story, they show how they were about to kiss and Edward says no because he loves his wife, and he was sorry to give Jenny the wrong idea.

here is my take on it.

1) I do not think that Edward had an affair. the scene shows how Jenny is about to kiss him, and he rejects it. I think the reason she says how she regrets telling the story is because she's either embarrassed by it (i mean, she was rejected) or ashamed by it (because she was essentially trying to seduce a married man)

2) I think what William took as flirting, was just Edward's really social personality. I mean, isn't that why he became a salesperson? because he was very sociable?

3) Who's to say that Ed never wrote Jenny? If I'm not mistaken, she says that he was never seen or heard from IN SPECTRE again. so it's possible that he wrote and sent her pictures. either that, or Will was born while he was fixing up her house, and he talked about Will while there. (Will was born while his dad was on a business trip). From that, it wouldn't be too hard to infer that it was Ed's son.

No.

I think they got an affair, but just ones and not for sure sexual. Probably in his early life (before he met Sandra) and Jenny felt in love with him (maybe there were teenagers). In this case Edward moved on and Jenny waited for him. When he returned, he was "too late". She could not wait any longer and married that "jerk". He was married with Sandra.

Nevertheless he helped her out fixing her house and buying the deed, because she (for instance) got no money, but said, that he can not start an affair, because loving his wife so much.

In the book he did.
In the film he did not.

Yes.

I am convinced that he had an affair, simply by the way Jenny said "I was afraid I was going to have to tiptoe around that for another half hour" after Will asked if they had an affair. Yet again, would it be necessary for her to tiptoe around something that was not an actual issue?

By my interpretation, all the stories told in the film, regardless of who is telling them, are told as they would be by Edward Bloom. The film is called "Big Fish," recalling all those fisherman's tales of fish in which fish are reported to be much larger than they really were. The Edward Bloom in the stories is a better, more ideal version of the real-life person, and someone who would be unconditionally in love with his wife and behave as he does in the story Jenny provides.
