I am struggling in understanding the topolgoy defined on $E^{et}$.

There are two statements, on -2 line of pg 282,

How is lemma 5.30 (ii) applied? Why is $\langle \tau, W \rangle \subseteq \langle \sigma, U \rangle \cap \langle \sigma' , U' \rangle $?

Lastly

Why is this the coarsest topology on $E$ making all sections continuous. What are the sections?
