You can use "for a bit" to mean "for a while/moment". There is no such phrase as "for a bit closer". But for such sentences, you should add "where" you are asking the person to come: Come ____ for a bit/while
Come here for a bit
Come here for a while
Come with me for a bit
Come with me for a while
Come away for a bit
Come away for a while
Come in for a bit
Come in for a while
Come in a bit closer (this refers to spatial distance, not time)
Hope this helps!
