1 As: The expression 'as a matter of fact' always requires 'as' to introduce it. 'As' is often used to introduce comparisons. 'As a matter of fact' introduces a factual or true statement.
1 In: We can say 'in fact' but not 'in a matter of fact'. The best choice here is 'as'.
2 as: 'As' correctly expresses the comparison between the ages of Bruno and Bob. 'He is AS old AS Bruno' is an example of a comparison of equality, which requires 'as' to both introduce and complete the comparison.
2 that: 'That' does not fit in this type of comparative construction.
2 for: 'For' is incorrect. Using 'for' in this construction is grammatically incorrect. 'For' is not used in comparative constructions like this one.
