À toute heure = any time of the day.
À bientôt = soon. (Interpret as you will)
Au revoir = whenever we next meet.

"à tout à l'heure" ... is the correct expression .. and means pretty much till later ... I find its normally said among friends ... who might see each other the same day ...

"a plus" ... gets used a fair bit as well .. I guess depending on who you are dealing with .. and its a normal way to sign off an email
