Is Friday prayer obligatory for pilgrims residing in Mina on Eid al-Adha, who have not gone to the Kaaba and have delayed the Ifadah circumambulation, or is it waived for them and do they shorten their prayers like travelers?

There is no Friday prayer obligatory upon pilgrims in Mina or Arafat, because they are considered travelers, and the Friday prayer is not obligatory upon a traveler. Therefore, they pray two rak'ahs in Mina. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed Dhuhr and Asr combined with an early prayer (jama' taqdim) on the Day of Arafat and did not pray Friday.
