This is incorrect. Edward does not mean that Bruno only has a minute to see Harold, but that Bruno will be ready to see Harold soon.
This is incorrect. Edward tells Harold to wait, not that Bruno is ready to see him.
This is incorrect. "To be on one's way out" is an expression that indicates the moment when someone exits a room, house, apartment or building. Note that Edward could have said "Bruno is on his way" to indicate that Bruno is "en route". To be "on one's way" is used to indicate that you have left (or will be leaving very soon) and "are coming".
This is correct. Edward's expression "Bruno will be right with you" means that "Bruno won't be long", or that Harold won't need to wait a long time to see Bruno. Both these expressions are commonly used when telling someone that they will have to wait a short amount of time.
