In these sentences, the " 'd" part is not "would", but actually "did".
"Who'd she go to dinner with?" -> "Who did she go to dinner with?"
"Where’d that come from?" -> "Where did that come from?"
"What’d you do?" -> "What did you do?"
" So what’d he say when you told him you already had a boyfriend?" -> "So what did he say when you told him you already had a boyfriend?"

@Hatulim thank you for making it clear, I always thought that 'd is a contraction for "had" and "would"

@Oleilla No problem :D Also, like you said, it is indeed a contraction for "had" and "would", but also for "did" as you see here.
