This statement is false. Polly admits that she doesn't like Fiona personally, but she hasn't told this to Fiona or written it.
This statement is true. Polly writes about the feedback she has received from Philip's colleagues. She writes specifically that Miss Stake has been called "cold, stubborn and intrusive". These are criticisms.
This statement is true. To be direct (with someone) means to be frank or honest (with them). Polly advises Philip "to answer all (Fiona's) questions and provide her with any information she requires." Polly then writes "I advise that you give her what she needs so that she can be on her way". "To be on one's way" is "to leave". Polly is suggesting that Philip cooperate with Fiona (by being honest) so that she can complete the review quickly.
This statement is false. Polly suggests that Philip remove the champagne and chocolate from his office as it would give Fiona the wrong impression. She also mentions "mood music", which is music meant to create an atmosphere or ambiance (of romance for example).

Kevin never indicates whether or not he thinks Jean should get "more than twenty percent" of the money. Kevin does say "One billion dollars is a lot of money, Jean", but he is simply commenting on (and correcting) what Jean has told him.
At the end of the dialogue, Kevin says "Hold everything, Jean". The expression "hold everything" is a command to stop what you are doing. Kevin then tells Jean "You're not going anywhere!" which expresses that Kevin wants Jean to stay in America, and not proceed with his plan to fly to Kalackistan. In general, Kevin makes it clear that he thinks Jean's trip to Kalackistan is a bad idea.
Jean actually tells Kevin that Vladimir has assured him that a visa isn't necessary for his trip to Kalackistan. Jean also tells Kevin that he is leaving for Kalackistan tomorrow, and never indicates that he is on his way to get a visa. "To be on one's way" is to be "en route" or in the act of going somewhere.
Towards the end of their conversation, Jean tells Kevin "I will buy you lunch when I return". He is promising to pay for Kevin's lunch once he has returned from Kalackistan, after receiving the large sum of money which awaits him there. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all "meals", food served or eaten morning, afternoon and evening respectively.

This is not an expression in English - it is not the best choice here.
This is incorrect. If something is on your way (home), then something is on your journey (home). For example: "I can go to the supermarket after work - it's on my way home".
This is correct. To be "on one's way" means to be "en route" or "in the act of going somewhere". It is often used to indicate that you have left (or will be leaving very soon) and "are coming". For example: "the meeting starts in 10 minutes? Don't worry, I'm on my way!".
This is incorrect. The expression "it's in my way" is used to indicate that something is obstructing you. For example: "Please move your car - it's in my way!".

1 stroke of brilliance: This is the right answer. This expression means an "exceptional idea" or a "moment of genius". For example: "Let's use the money in the pension fund, bet it all on a horse, take the winnings and put the original money back in the box. It's a stroke of brilliance!".
