Hi Ganesh,
'Hang out' suggests more the idea of being together with someone and finding some sort of entertainment or leisure pursuit.

As far as I know "hang out" means meeting with friends and having fun with them.
The word combination "come over" has lots of meaning but in the context above it may mean "to drop in", to visit informally, pay a casual visit.

In phone conversation, if we use - "Hang up"
Have we asked others to stay on the phone line for a while?
Thanks,

No. "Hang up" means to disconnect. If you want them to wait, you will ask to "hang on" or "hold on".
