Surplice, Ad orientem
Surplice is English. "sur-plus" or "sur-plis" (the latter is more British, but some Americans say it that way too)
The Latin is superpelliceum
sue-pear-pel- lee - chay- oom
Ad orientem
add Oh-ree-en-tem

Usually, it is "uh" for the short and "ar" for the long versions of "a as in father".
According to the generic "Italianate" Latin pronunciation (like what was given in the EWTN guide), vowel length is not generally observed, except to determine stress accent. Vowel quantity is almost always the same regardless of context (e.g., A is always like in "father," never as in "bat" or "Virginia").
