1 short notice: This is correct. To do something on (or "at" UK) "short notice", means that you are doing something promptly or with little notification. For example: I have to work late tonight, my boss told me at short notice about this, and only informed me this morning. In this conversation, Bruno says "I really don't like flying across the country on such short notice" which means that he was recently informed about the conference and he doesn't like to travel so far with such little warning. Note: on short notice (US), at short notice (UK).
2 upset: This is correct. The adjective "upset" means unhappy, disappointed or worried. For example: When I heard him shouting, it made me very upset, and I cried for several hours. In this conversation, Donna asks "Why are you so upset?" because Bruno appears to be worried and Donna wants to know why he is unhappy.
