Answer

Because in this sentence, " they are having" emphasizes that " they are now doing" and this activity are not going on like before.

Answer

2) = As we were waiting
3) = how she is
4) = meal
5)= noisy

Question 1) We use 'are having' because they are already in the act of having lunch in the restaurant. 'Will have' is used when we have an intention do something or when we are making a prediction.

Answer

Ok, but `are having` means future or present in this case?

Answer

Because the act is usually done every day
