What is this "should"mean? What a coincidence that we should meet here,of all places.

Read it as the past tense of "shall". Because it has already happened, "should" is the appropriate form. You'll see it used in this way to give a sense of "imagine that!" to a sentence. You can also drop "should" and have a simple present subjunctive clause ("that we meet here"), which still has a very similar meaning.

It means that it is a coincidence to meet there. The odds of meeting there were far from good. It should not have happened.
