1. ‘mitwa’ means friend. The correct word is ‘mitra’ but which is sometimes used as mitwa particularly in spoken Hindi in north India.
2. ‘chitti’ is actually ‘chitthi’ (चिट्ठी) and it means letter. The other word you wrote as ‘chutti’ (छुट्टी) means leave or getting rid of.
3. ‘Kamaal’ (कमाल) means wonderful, extra ordinary, pleasing, outstanding, etc.
4. ‘prabhat’ means morning.
5. ‘lar’ is a word taken from local dialect say spoken Hindi in Bihar, for which the correct word in Hindi is ‘saath’ and both of these mean ‘together’
similar is the case with ‘jaye’ which is actually ‘jana’ or ‘ja’ in Hindi and means going
and ‘tho’ is actually ‘tha’ or ‘the’ (था singular, थे plural)
the meaning as a whole is - they were to go or they were gong together.
6. ‘mat karo’ means do not do or do not act . ’ karo’ means do or act.
7. You are right.
8. nokri is actually ‘naukaree’ and means service, doing a job on fixed monthly or fortnightly salary.

RKV,
5. The postman(Rajesh Vivek) in Swades doesn’t say ‘lar jaye’.. He says
‘ee gaoN mein email lag jaye to humare pair ka shanichar utar jaye’.
‘lag’ means to be fixed/attached/installed or a lot of other things depending on the context. ‘Lag jaye to’ means : “if it is installed”. (Your writing of ‘to’ as ‘tho’ can be confusing, as ‘tho’ is used only in Southern parts of India)
‘ee’ in rural Indian languages means ‘iss of Hindi’, meaning ‘this’.
‘humaare’ means ‘mine’ in this context, though in proper Hindi it means ‘ours’.
‘pair’ : means legs.
Shanichar, literally meaning ‘one who walks in night’ - means devil/ghost etc. and is a symbol of evil / ill fate / worldly problems.
‘utar jaye’ - ‘gets away’ in this context.
So the postman there says, If this village gets email, the ill fate or problems of his legs would go away, as he’d not need to walk to each home and deliver postal letters himself. He’d just email all of them.
