Subject: Why hello
Одна девочка видит другую и говорит:
Why hello, Tiger Ann.

Why можно просто опустить, или же оно несет какую-то нагрузку?

Just an interjection, used typically to show surprise or just for emphasis. May sound outdated nowadays.

yes, to show surprise, particularly in a situation where the two have not seen each other for a very long time and meet by chance
