Can Walmart, etc do hourly processing of kodak color ISO 400 HighDefinition?

Just curious. All B&W require sending out to a lab for processing;
usually get it back in a week or two.

Most minilabs in WalMart, chain drugstores, etc, run C-41 process (or other
manufacturer's equivalent). If the film is C-41 process, the machine can
develope the negative. Most films will specify what process to use. I think
Fuji's C-41 equal is CN-16-- not sure about that.
As for the quality of the finished neg, that's another issue. Is the process
'in control'? Has the machine been cleaned regularly? Do the operators know
how to handle film/negatives without scratching them?
As for printing the negatives, the machine wants to see a certain mix of
colors and densities. If the film has an unusual mask (the overall orange
tint of a color neg), it may have difficulty getting a good color-balanced
print.

There's C-41 process ISO 400 B&W film from Kodak (BW400CN), and I think
from other manufacturers.

It's called chromogenic film.

XP2 from Ilford, which I like better if you are doing direct prints,
but I like the Kodak BW400CN for scanning and digital "processing."
