This is correct. To "hang around" is to spend time in a certain place, in this sentence it shares a similar meaning with "to wait". Example: There was nobody there when we arrived, so we hung around for 10 minutes, then left.
This sentence uses the term "hang around" incorrectly. Do not confuse it with the term "to hang up", which means to put down the telephone receiver and effectively end the telephone call.
This is incorrect. "Hang around" takes the irregular form (hang/hung/hung) when it is used to mean "staying in a place". Note that when the verb takes the past tense and past participle "hanged" it refers to the human execution of "hanging" someone, with rope tied around the neck, for example: Adolf Eichmann was hanged for his crimes in 1961.
This is correct. To "hang around" is to spend time in a certain place with certain people, often with no particular aim. Example: When I was younger I used to hang around with a strange looking boy who was called Farquart.

Warbuckle says "there's lots of media types hanging around" meaning that there are a lot of journalists staying on his ranch with no apparent aim.
