"She told us about the amazing news in a surprised voice." means the news made us feel amazed. Her voice made it sound like she was surprised. I think this is the sentence that whatever test or book you chose wanted. However, I think "She told us about the amazing news in a surprising voice." would also be okay, but it would mean that you were surprised when you heard her voice. Maybe it was very deep and sounded like a man, or maybe it was very high and squeaky.

Neither is correct. I think you could say, "All the men there are kind-hearted men." or even, "All the men there are kind-hearted."
