Total number of runs conceded by a bowler is runs scored by right handers against him + runs scored by left handers scored against him + extras. From the data, taking 320 wickets at 16.60 per wicket, Wasim has conceded 5312 runs against them and taking 94 wickets at 19.18 runs per wicket, he has conceded 1803 runs against them. That adds up to 7115 runs. And total number of runs conceded by Wasim in his career are 9779. Now 9779-7115 = 2664 runs. I really doubt that Wasim has conceded 2664 extras in 3771.1 overs that he has bowled in test cricket.
Ok this is what 'average score upon dismissal' means:
Wasim dismisses three batsman: Player A who had scored 35 runs, Player B who had scored 20 runs, Player C, who had scored 5 runs. These are not the runs these batsmen scored against Wasim, rather these were the scores they were batting at when they were dismissed. So, average score upon dismissal would be 35+20+5 = 60/3 = 20 runs.
Yeah, I got that earlier. Has also been clarified in this post

In wicket summary , Cricinfo have average score at which batsmen were dismissed and it has absolutely no relationship with how cheaply Wasim took wickets against RHB & LHB. Cric info should have done better job at labeling this.
