If after "왜" there is a comma, is the meaning still "why?", because I found some sentences that makes me confused. For example, I found this sentence : 남서부에서 산사태도 발생했다던데. 왜, 그 무슨 백작 부인도 거기 휘말려서...
There's "왜" but that's not a 'question' , right?

It's exactly the same as using "why" with a coma; that is, why used as an interjection.
왜, 그 있잖아, 코 큰 사람.
Why, you know, that guy with a big nose.
