Is my translation for these phrases right? Also how exactly do I use 幹嘛?
太過分了 : (something has) gone too far

你這樣看著我幹什麼？: Why are you looking at me like that?

別吵了: knock it off / cut it out.
** does this literally mean "don't be noisy"?

他不理我 : he ignored me

不要這樣看著我: don't look at me that way

不好意思麻煩你: Sorry for bothering you

你一個人嗎？: are you alone/by yourself?

熬到这么晚: stay up this late

請入座: please, have a seat

不要鬧我: don't bother me

你現在在幹嘛呢?: what are you doing now?

沒幾間: not very many

臉皮厚: thick-skinned

真巧: what a coincidence

我寵你: I spoil you; is this literally "I treat you like a pet"?

八婆: B**** ; does this have the same meaning and weight as in English?

Also, I would really like some help in understanding how 幹嘛 is used. Is it interchangeable with 為什麼?

Thanks ! ^^

Answer

基本上对的，but "沒幾間: not very many"
not very many :不是很多,沒有很多
沒幾間: ？

別吵了: "don't be noisy“ ,ok.
寵/宠: dote on;favor

幹嘛/干吗 ≠ 為什麼  eg. --你在干吗呢?what are you doing?   --我在看书。I'm reading.
sometimes 干吗 has the meaning 為什麼 eg.--你干吗让我做？Why did you let me do it,  --因为你能办好。you can do well

Answer

Let me give you another explanation from Taiwanese usage.
When you simply say 幹嘛?. Usually, it is a informal way of replying to your family, friends or people you know very well. 
for instance,  FRIEND: hey, are you there?  YOU: yeah, 幹嘛?( in English may be ''anything wrong?'' )

However, when  幹嘛 is combined with a sentence like 「你在幹嘛?」, 幹嘛 would  mean "doing" 
at this point.
