The Alien ship could just be another ship. I'm sure the engineers created/built more than just one. As far as the engineers who, what and why, I think they will answer those along the way or even a Prometheus sequel... Milk the franchise for all it's worth

It is just another ship, but it's a missed opportunity in the prequels. And then the Engineers just got sidelined in this film...literally.

The truth is, most of the questions haven't been answered. They were just ignored in favor of Xenomorph creation.

Seriously though my guess is a mixture of shock and whatever animosity the Engineers had towards humans. I mean if I'm awoken from my stasis prematurely and a bunch of weird hairless ape-men wearing fancy blue space-suits are crowding me I'm not gonna be in an awesome, friendly mood. Maybe though David is what really set him off, like seeing that David was a robot that the humans designed was insulting to him. Maybe it was some kind of jealous hate along the lines that only an Engineer is worthy of making other life like that. That's just my guess though.

There is a deleted scene in which the Engineer speaks. Of course, there's still no subtitles, so you have no idea what he's saying, but he has very expressive body language and you can get a bit clearer picture.

Given David's personality, and that we have no idea what he said to the Engineer, it's likely that he didn't say what Mr. Weyland told him to say.

In an interview though, Ridley Scott said....and I shit you not....that the reason the Engineers want to destroy Earth is that they sent an Engineer by the name of Jesus Christ to check on Earth, and humans crucified him. They're pissed about it and want to destroy Earth because of it.
