1. Can i travel in and out of UK withing this period if yes how long max.
Yes, however if you want to apply for ILR you cannot be outside the UK for more than 180 days in each year
2. Can the 50k come fro my personal savings.
No, unless you are switching from certain routes in the UK. Refer to the guide below
3. The up keep money which is about 3k plus. Is it per year or for the period of 3 years 4 months.
Are you talking about the maintenance funds here ??
4. Must the 50k be in a UK bank.
Not if you are applying from outside the UK.
5. Can i buy a fast food franchise, get someone to manage and work there as a staff.
Yes in theory but currently it is very unlikely that a Tier 1E visa will be granted for such business plans
6. Can my wife work else where.
Yes, dependant are allowed to work in the UK as they wish

Please start reading the guide: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... trepreneur

You can only apply on the £50k route if you meet the following requirements re funding.
4. Access to £50,000 investment funds
You can apply if you have access to £50,000 in investment funds from one or more of the following:

a UK entrepreneurial seed funding competition endorsed by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI)
a UK government department making funds available for the purpose of setting up or expanding a UK business
a venture capital firm registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
You can also apply if you’ve already invested £50,000 in a UK business. You must have invested the funds less than 12 months before you apply.

The funding rules are different if you’re changing (switching) from another visa, or if you’ve already had a UK visa.
