The etymology of dar las uvas makes me think this is an idiom mostly used in Spain.

#2

Should be ‘van a darme’.

#3

Interesting, I thought “[esto] va a darme las uvas”.

#4

No, the subject isn’t what makes you late, but an implied clock: el reloj dio las cuatro, nos dieron las cuatro, nos van a dar las uvas.

Reading again the wiki explanation, I think it’s wrong.
