(1) "snisi'o le ma'a tsali"
Do you mean "snisi'o lo nu ma'a tsali"?

(2) "ba ma lo bilni sidju ... cu tolyli'a"
     ".i naku zmadu lo djedi be li re .a li ci"

I think the question should be "ba za ma", since he is probably
interested in how long it will be until they arrive, not in what may
happen before they arrive.

I would make the answer "lo djedi be li su'e re ji'i ci"

(3) I couldn't figure out "lo sinxa te sazgau".

(4) "naku ma'a ba ze'u bandu fi le nu gunta"
Maybe "renvi" rather than "bandu"?
"ma'a na ba renvi lo nu gunta kei lo clani"?

(5) Maybe "le midju _be_ le sorgu'e"?

(6) "ba ma da poi pacnu'e ma'a [ku'o] cu denpa": "after what will they
wait?" Do you mean "how long will they wait?" That's "ze'a ma". Or
"what are they waiting for?" That's "denpa ma"

(7) You use "gasnu" where I would use "zukte". "gasnu" is to make
someone (usually someone else) do something, "zukte" is just to do
something.
