Spot on Mina. He does in fact confront Elizabeth. Right after Jack reveals that it was Elizabeth who sent him to his death. Will puts two and two together. Here is the scene if you haven't read it already:
572 INT. BLACK PEARL - BELOW DECKS - DAY
Will looks, finds Elizabeth, sitting alone.
WILL
You left Jack to the Kraken.
She looks up. She's been crying -- but she is relieved.
ELIZABETH
He's rescued now. It's done with.
Will does not agree. Looks away. Se stands --
ELIZABETH (cont'd)
Will, I had no choice!
WILL
You chose not to tell me
ELIZABETH
I couldn't. It wasn't your burden to bear.
He catches her arm, pulls her around to face him.
WILL
But I did bear it. Didn't I? I just didn't know what it was. I thought...
ELIZABETH
You thought I loved him.
She tries to move past him. He blocks her way. She tries to push him aside. He pushes her back against the hull.
WILL
If you make your choices alone, how can I trust you?
ELIZABETH
You can't.
He looks away from her. She ducks beneath his arm and goes.
But of course, to drag the suspense out even more, she naturally doesn't really answer the question about where her feelings lie. You could quibble and say that she does, but the fact that Will believed her to be unfaithful to him was insulting to her honor.
