Love at first sight
This passage is describing the way Armand fell in love, in the same way everyone in his family fell in love. It describes the love as being shot by a pistol which shows that it happens immediately the first time they see the person that they are falling in love with.
Tomorrow or today yesterday. It's times
The point is third-person omniscient subjective.
You can tell because the passage states the thoughts/feelings of multiple characters, while not using "I" or "You" or any other first or second person pronouns.
Hope this helped!
