If you understand. Peace be upon you
This is not really a complete sentence, without a context. 'Peace be upon you' is the literal meaning of the Muslim greeting throughout the Islamic world.

If you could understand this [thing/point]....Bye for now.
It seems from the intent of the sentence that it possibly occurs at the end of a telephonic communication, or a letter. The speaker meant "If you could understand [what I am trying to tell you]...then try to. Bye for now."
Salam-alei-kum can mean 'hello'. It is usually used as a form of greeting. Yes, 'technically', it would mean 'peace be with you' but that's actually a mistranslation in this context in any case. But you also use 'salam' when as a greeting when you part or leave. In this context, it seems clear that the speaker left [after a telephonic talk or otherwise], thus the use of the expression 'bye for now'.
