The end of the handmaid's tale

I am really confused about the ending. Is Offred pregnant? Is Nick an Eye?  How is Offred’s daughter and her Luke? Does she love Nick more than the Commander? She knows something will happen to her. But she did nothing. She did not fire the house, suicide, or escape. She just waited things to happen. When the van comes, she does not know whether it comes to save her or to bring her to the death, but she has to go. She confesses that she would rather give in than die when she knew the death of the previous Ofglen. The end of the story is full of uncertain and abruptness.  The story is too wired, especially for the ending part.
