Icarus describes himself as being "upset" by Wendy's behaviour: he does not say that SHE was "upset". To be "upset" is to be "sad" or "emotionally disturbed".
Icarus writes that he received "abuse" from Wendy, which means that she behaved "aggressively" or "abusively" towards him. These two terms share a similar meaning. The terms "abuse" and "aggression" refer to "mistreatment". Icarus also writes that Wendy "shouted at" him, which is characteristic of "aggressive" behaviour.
It is Icarus who is "teary" after his conversation with Wendy, not the other way round.
"Impolite" shares a very similar meaning with "rude", which is one of the words Icarus uses to describe Wendy in his email. If someone is "rude" or "impolite", they do not have good manners, or do not show consideration for others.
