Bob says that he and Icarus have been working across the hall from each other for "over" 13 years which indicates that they have been working across the hall for "more than" thirteen years. This is a long period of time.
Bob refers to the charges by saying, "Well, I can't imagine what they might be". This is Bob's way of saying that he doesn't know anything about the charges. The verb "to claim" describes the act of declaring or stating something which may or may not be true. Example: The president claimed he didn't know anything about the tax deficit.
This is incorrect. Bruno, Bob and Icarus discuss the problem of Bob's expense account, but they haven't resolved the problem yet. To "resolve (a problem)" is to "answer" or "fix" it. The drinks served at the end of the dialogue are to accompany the meeting.
Bob says that his son "just had a minor case of the flu", which means that he had a minor viral infection (usually with the following symptoms: fever, sore throat, muscle pains, and a headache). A "mild illness" refers to a sickness which is moderate or not serious.
