What do the symbols on the elder wand mean?
There's no symbols on the Elder Wand. (Perhaps in the film, but the films have nothing to do with the book.)
Does the Elder wand choose his master if a person dis arms another?
The elder wand is passed down when the original owner is disarmed or is killed. The person who disarmed\killed the owner is now the owner of the elder wand.
How did the elder wand get to dumbledore?
Actually, Dumbledore didn't intend on Harry getting the Elder Wand. As said in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the only way you become the master of the wand is either you disarm the master and/or, you kill them. So when Draco disarmed Dumbledore in the sixth book that made Draco the master. In the seventh book, at Malfoy Manor, Harry disarmed Draco by taking his wand, making him the master of the Elder Wand.
Did Draco Malfoy take the elder wand from Albus Dumbledore after he died?
Draco was the actual master of the elder wand because Dumbledore's death was already planned, so when Snape killed him, it wasn't actually a takeover of the wand. Because Draco was the last to disarm Dumbledore, or 'take' his wand, it recognized Draco as it's master. This is how Voldemort was ultimately killed, because Harry was using Draco's original wand. The elder wand recognized the wand as its master's, so Voldemort's killing curse was turned back upon him. However, Draco never actually had the Elder Wand in his possession. He never even knew he was the master until Harry revealed it.
What is dumbledore wand?
The only wand we know Dumbledore to own in the books is the Elder's Wand, although it is reasonable to assume that he had a wand previously as he was able to defeat someone to get the wand (not going to say who). If you ignore the end of the sixth book and the entire of the seventh book, Dumbledore still has the Elder's Wand's allegiance, and as the Elder's Wand is the most powerful wand in the wizarding world, Dumbledore's wand would be much more powerful than Harry's. It is suggested in the books that the wands themselves don't actually differ in power (excluding the Elder's Wand of course), but the power actually lies with the wizard or witch controlling them. So if Dumbledore didn't own the Elder's Wand, both his and Harry's wands would probably be the same in power.
