I know I am late to this, but in your script, you need to add global: in front of the variable you want to return in the Powershell script, so for example:

$global:test = 4

in Powershell script. In C# after you open the runspace, invoke the policy changer, set up the pipline, you do

var result = runspace.SessionStateProxy.PSVariable.GetValue("test");
