The software I use (Beersmith) says I should set my psi to 7.75. How long is that for, if I put it higher will it carbonate faster?
That is LOW! May be OK, but will take forever to carb.
I would pump it up to 45psi or so and disconnect it (cold)
Re-connect after 3 days to the 7.75 and you will have slight carbonation that will settle out over a day or 3 to the low carbonation you are shooting for.
I was hoping to serve this weekend at about 2.3 or 2.4, will this be possible this way? this is at 33 degrees too.
Did you know that the powers that be (Jackson/Palmer) recommend serving homebrew at 45-50F for wheats/lagers, 50-55F for most ales, and 55-60F for porters/stouts? Any colder, and you stifle malt and hop character pretty severely.
33F is great for Bud Light, but way too cold for homebrew. Just FYI!

It's not like we're doing keg-stands here.
1. 24-36 hours at 30 psi hooked up to the gas, in the kegerator.
2. Purge down to required CO2 volume based on your temperature.
I don't see the need to chill it sown further just to raise it up for serving,
especially in the time frame you are looking at.
By the weekend this would get you fairly close.
