This is correct, and the same use of "to wonder" as in this conversation. To "wonder what will happen" is to "think about" and "ask oneself questions about" the future. Example: "He wondered whether he would ever escape from the prison". This is the principal sense of "to wonder" meaning "to speculate" or "to question".
This is incorrect. The term "to wonder" cannot be used reflexively. This sentence should read "I wonder why Bill lied to us all", or using "myself" as an emphatic pronoun: "I myself wonder why Bill lied to us all".
This is a correct use of "to wonder". "To wonder at (an object)" is to be "amazed" by it, or "in awe" of it. Example: "I wonder at the magic of nature". Note that this is one of the less common uses of the verb "to wonder".
This is incorrect. The term "wonder" cannot be used in this way. This sentence should read "I WANDERED all over town...".
This is a correct use of the "to wonder". When we "wonder if" something will happen, we are expressing an interest in the possibility of an event happening. Example: "Rachel wonders if she will inherit her father's fortune".

1 foreigners: "Foreigners" is the correct answer. A "foreigner" comes from "a different or foreign country". Here's another example: "I am a foreigner in this country. Please could you speak more slowly, as English is a foreign language for me". This word can be difficult to pronounce, so you might like to listen to the end of the dialogue again, when Brian corrects Jean!
2 citizen: "Citizen" is the term we were looking for here. A "citizen" of a country is a legal permanent resident there, and has certain rights. They probably also hold a passport issued by this country.
3 wondering: "Wondering" is the correct term here. We can say "I am wondering what to have for lunch", if we are thinking about something, or considering it. Another example: "I wonder if Susie will ever go on a date with Philip".
4 topic: "Topic" is the term used in the dialogue which refers to a "subject". Brian says "Immigration is the topic du jour", meaning that immigration is the subject of the day. Here's another example: "What topics are you revising for the biology exam? I'm doing anaerobic respiration and asexual reproduction".
