Does the expression "well?" have the same meaning as "so?" in this context?

Yes, that's correct! "Well" and "so" are both prompt words, used to show that one is waiting for an answer or explanation from someone else. "And" can also be used similarly. Ex: Well? How did your exam go? Ex: So? Did you check out the situation? Ex: And? Did your date go well?
