Were Solomon and Sarah ever arranged to be married or was there some sort of understanding? Because for some reason, some people are under this impression but I can’t see any confirmation.
I don't think so, it's more like gossip/wishful thinking from what we see. Since they seem to be friends, and do get along, the town seems to think they could be a good match. Certainly Sarah's father seems to feel that way but in a light teasing way rather than a you will marry this man sort of way.
Sarah definitely feels it's something she can joke about to Solomon. Potentially if all that happened hadn't happened, the implications might have become orders. For one, it appears people are giving Solomon time to get over becoming a widower and losing a son; while Sarah's still young. But after a bit it would have been harder for her to stay single in front of social pressure and such and people would be pushing Solomon to "move on and remarry". As he canonically eventually did.
Not that, had what happened not happened, getting married would have happened even if there was that much social pressure. Sarah clearly knows she's gay and doesn't want to get into a comphet cover marriage. And Solomon being unhindged enough to, y'know, kill a woman for the Devil's book and sell his soul........ wouldn't have gone well.
