Also can のに be used with only the left part of the sentence as such: 金持ちのに

Yes.

From TaeKim's guide he provided an example マトリックスを見たけど、面白かった which translates to "I watched the Matrix and it was interesting". I was wondering if けど could mean both "and" and "but", how exactly should we decide what is it supposed to mean.

I've actually never encountered this usage of けど, and I wonder if it's just some poor English on Tae Kim's part.

As for the sentence なんで友達に会う時間がない, is it true that it can either mean both "why is there no time to meet friend?" and "that is why there is no time to meet friend"

I don't think so. You're thinking of なのでー＞なんで, which I don't think you can start a sentence with.
I suppose if you are completing someone else's thought, you could start with "なので友達 blahblah" but not just sua sponte.
