1 to be determined to obtain : This is correct. To have one's heart set on something is to be determined to get or do something. Example: I have my heart set on going to Africa this year. In the dialogue, Bruno says, "I had my heart set on that painting" to mean that he was determined to buy painting A.

1 to be disappointed by: This isn't the best choice here.
1 to respond emotionally to: This isn't the best choice here.
2 is easily noticed: This is correct. If something "stands out" it is easily seen or noticed. Example: He STANDS OUT in class because of his green hair. In the dialogue, Bruno says that "one of (Plazbo's) paintings stood out". This means that Bruno particularly noticed one of the paintings because it appeared special, different or superior. This phrasal verb is used in a popular idiom, "to stand out from the crowd". Example: Her intelligence makes her STAND OUT from the crowd.
2 is no longer available: If a product is no longer available to buy in a shop we might say it is "sold out". The verb "to stand out" would not be used in this way.
