How to say Goodbye/See you, Im sorry and Excuse me in Korean
If you are leaving, and the other person is (or the other people are) staying, you can say: 안녕히 계세= An-nyeong-hi- gye-se-yo
If you are staying, an the other person is (or the other people are) leaving, you can say: 안녕히 가세요 = An-nyeong-hi- ga-se-yo
죄송합니다 = Im sorry/ I apologize
죄송 = joe-song means "apology”, “being sorry” or “feeling ashamed” and
합니다 = hap-ni-da, means "I do". So together it's 죄송합니다 :)
BUT you can not use 죄송합니다 as "Im sorry to hear that"!
Because 죄송합니다 means "I apoplogize, "It was my bad, "Exuce me" or "I
shouldn’t have done that".
저기요= Jeo-gi-yo
In english you can use "Excuse me":
1. When you are passing through a crowd of people
2. When you are leaving the room for a second
3. When you want to get someone’s attention and talk to them or let them know something.
4. When you want to call the waiter in a restaurant or a cafe to order something
But in korean it's ONLY number 3 and 4 ^___^

Actually you only gave some polite/formal saying but there are also informal/casual ways of saying those. Casual language can be obtained by simply dropping -세요 or -요 but in those examples you gave above, it's much more complicated. 안녕히 (from 안녕하다), meaning comfortably and finely (if that's a word), is a polite way of saying 잘 (well). So 안녕히 가세요 would become 잘 가. And 계세요 (from 계시다), meaning "stay" (in imperative voice), is a polite way of saying 있어요, and if you make it very casual then it becomes 잘 있어. Also 죄송 is a polite term for 미안, so 죄송합니다/죄송해요 would become 미안합니다/미안해요/미안해 in more casual and informal voices. You could say 실례합니다/실례해요 instead of 저기요 and the casual form would be 저기.
