1) どろぼうにダイヤのゆびわを盗まれたんです。
What does the れた suffix mean?

It's called the passive tense.

EDIT: Let me be a little more clear. It's the past passive tense. And the ま is an important element in there, too.

2) お口にあうかどうかわかりませんが、 どうぞめしあがってください。
What does かどうか mean?

It's basically the same as "whether or not" in English in this context.

eg. "I don't know whether or not you'll find it palatable, but please help yourself."
