1 crowded: Bruno insists on meeting at a public place which is "crowded". The term "crowded" refers to an area or space full of people (or objects). A "crowded" bus is full of people, a crowded movie theater has many people in it. Note that "crowded" is related to the noun "crowd" which refers to the group of people themselves.
2 sharp: Bruno wants to meet at 7:30 "sharp". The adjective "sharp" means "exactly" or "precisely" when used to describe a specific time of day. The term "sharp" has many figurative meanings besides its literal meaning (having an edge or blade which cuts effectively).
3 unarmed: The term "unarmed" describes someone carrying no weapons. Bruno doesn't want Badguy to come to their meeting with weapons, he asks that he come "unarmed". Note that an arm is also part of the body: an extension of the shoulder ending in the hand.
