After he spots D'Hubert, Feraud silently points at his own uniform. He is showing his mark to indicate that he too is a captain and therefore the two are allowed to duel again (which would have been forbidden if their rank had been different).
The Château de Commarque, which is located in Dordogne between Sarlat and Les Eyzies, in the commune of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil. The Chateau also shown in the background in some of these shots is the Chateau de Laussel.
Yes. The movie is an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's short novel "The Duel".
The movie follows Conrad's novel quite closely; the main difference probably concerns Feraud's personality, which is painted in a somewhat more sinister light in the movie.
