What is a right neural foraminal narrowing?
The foramina is the path down the spinal canal through which the nerves pass. Over time, stenosis and other spinal problems can led to narrowing of the foramina, which can put pressure on the nerves and cause disk problems as well. If the problem is severe enough, a Neurosurgeon a can decompress the area (widen the passage) at the point where it's narrowed. This is commonly done in spinal fusion operations - I've had it done in 2 of my 3 spinal surgeries.
Most people have some sort of stenosis just from everyday wear and tear on the spine, though for some who have contributing factors the problem can be more severe. Most people with the problem can live their entire lives without much problem; others require surgical intervention when all other steps have failed or cannot be employed. Radiologists will typically note any apparent narrowing of the foramina (bilateral, etc.) they see on an MRI or CT in their report, but it doesn't mean that it's a problem that needs fixing unless there's a definite issue with mobility or pain involved.
What does a MRI mean if they say multilevel osteophytosis is seen?

This simply means arthritis of the spine.

Do a stewardes can have a scoliosis?
I'm not sure why stewardes would have scoliosis more than anyone else. It is important to note that scoliosis is a multi-factorial condition that results from a combination of genetic pre-disposition and environmental risk factors, which I don't believe being a stewardes is one of them.
Many patients with Harrington rods have had problems. Many needed surgeries later on to correct those problems.
