This sentence could be rewritten as:

I didn't really your questions about "elves".
"I didn't really get your questions about "elves"."

This sentence could be rewritten as:

I didn't really understand your questions about "elves".
understand: This is correct. If you GET something, you understand it. Example: I GET what you were saying about the food in this restaurant - it's disgusting! Luna doesn't GET Edward's questions about "elves" because she doesn't understand the relevance of mythical creatures in a job interview! GET is commonly used in a negative form like this.
