What does האדון mean here? Is it Mr., sir, or master?

אדון can mean different things depending on context.

In this sentence, האדון most naturally means the gentleman or the man/sir in a formal way.

• before a last name: Mr.
  • אדון כהן = Mr. Cohen
• in older, literary, or hierarchical contexts: master or lord

So here it is probably just a polite/formal way to refer to a man.

Is האדון common in everyday modern Hebrew?

It is understandable, but it sounds somewhat formal, service-oriented, or a little old-fashioned depending on context.

In everyday speech, Israelis might more often say:

• האיש מחכה בחוץ = the man is waiting outside
• הבחור מחכה בחוץ = the guy is waiting outside
• מישהו מחכה בחוץ = someone is waiting outside

So the sentence is correct, but האדון is not the most casual everyday choice.
