Try the following links (the first is the W section). The Harry Potter Lexicon has a section called Strictly British. It's British phrases and expressions for folks (largely in the US based on the description of this section) who are confused by them.

It sounds very famous five. It means what are you up to, but I haven't heard anyone say it in my lifetime. Although the wizard world does seem timeless and not as modernised as ours, so Tonks saying, 'wassup' or something seems ridiculous. On the other hand I've not heard anyone say 'wassup' since the Budweiser commercials.

It's her way of saying hi. Even if it's British not all British people talk the same(I mean people of different parts of the country).

She means it as a greeting. What she means is 'What's up?' or 'Hello' or 'Hi, how are you?'
That sort of thing.
Good Question. This is one HP question I don't think I've ever seen!
star for you! :)
