How do we get from the far right hand side of 4.15 to 4.16? I don't see why the inverse of the covariance matrix can be reduced to become $\frac{1}{N}$...

They are solving the equation for a value of $\mu$ such that the derivative of the likelihood function with respect to $\mu$ is 0. The fact that $\Sigma$ is invertible means you can multiply on both sides by it. It isn't a scalar.
