Answer

Yes, it's basically someone who likes to just sit and watch the people going by.  Often it will be used by someone sat outside at a cafe or bar doing nothing more than watching the locals walking past.

Answer

No.
People watching the music = the people who are watching the music

This structure is VERY common in English, so you need to learn it!

Answer

I had to do a little research to get the correct line. Unfortunately, yours was written slightly wrong and that caused a little confusion. If you give us the name of the series in future, it will help us a lot.

The proper lines from House of Cards are:

"You're a fan of the symphony."
"More for the people-watching than the music." (Note the the hyphen!)

This means that Zoe (?) goes to the symphony because she likes watching the audience more than listening to the music.
