First question: What does that 言っておくが我を始め part mean? It doesn't seem to really connect to the lines before or after it. My best guess is that the を始め is for listing things, but if so, what else is in that list, and what's the verb?
I think it's "Everyone would be against you choosing your own groom, Princess,
and I'd be first in line (in that opposition)."

Second question: Does the 受けるや否や there mean "will you accept it or not"? Most things point me to や否や being "as soon as ~", but that didn't make sense without a second action, so I thought it might just be her style of talking.
Rikai-chan gives "whether or not" as one of the possible translations... I think it's just a variant of か否か (with the additional meaning of "as soon as").
The way I understand it, the image behind the "as soon as" construction for "Aや否やB" is something like "B happened so soon after A that it was hard to tell whether A had already happened or not." But I could be completely mistaken (and I probably am).
