Bangladeshi national with Schengen visa stranded in Spain after UK BRP stolen

- How long can Person A expect to wait for the replacement BRP visa to be issued, after the appointment?
At the appointment, the answer given was: about 5 working days, if the person obtained a police report within 24 hours of the theft, notified the Home Office likewise, submitted the online application for a replacement BRP visa ASAP after that, paid for the fast-track service, and brought copies of all relevant documentation to the appointment.
An Indian friend of a friend was in the same situation earlier this year, except that they reported the theft first to their embassy and waited for a reply, instead of reporting the theft to the police within 24 hours. That person was told at the appointment that it would take up to 15 working days, and it did indeed take that long.
- Can person A travel overland, without risk, to other Schengen countries during this waiting period?
Not with certainty.
This is because the office that issues the replacement BRP visa requires the applicant to hand over their passport. The passport is eventually returned to the applicant together with the replacement BRP visa, once the latter is ready (see above), but not before.
Even though the Schengen Area in principle gives free movement, in practice a passport (with Schengen visa, if applicable) may be required by internal international carriers (planes, trains, long-distance buses), and at internal Schengen borders with temporary border controls.

The passport with the valid Schengen visa is all that is required to travel within the Schengen zone and is sufficient to pass any additional checks.
This is because your UK status has no bearing on the Schengen zone - the visa was issued to you and more to the point you are already admitted into the Schengen zone.
As long as the visa is valid, you are free to travel within, and exit the Schengen zone.
As far as the first point; regarding wait times for the replacement document - the best person to ask is the interviewer at the consulate where you have your appointment.
