I agree with everything except the first few sentences. Are you referring to the book or Emma2 when you say that he has admittedly loved her since Frank's arrival?
Both, and admittedly to himself until the proposal.
Read:
"On his side, there had been a long standing jealousy, old as the arrival, or even the expectation, of Frank Churchill. He had been in love with Emma, and Jealous of Frank CHurchill, from about the same period, one sentiment having enlightened him as to the other."
