It depends on a lot of factors. Quick answer, a minimum of an hour for the boil and then whatever time it takes after the boil is done to cool the wort to yeast pitching temperature. More information on you recipe and technique might help us give you more tailored advice.

This depends on your recipe, but many recipes call for either 60 or 90 minutes, though of course there are exceptions.
Is this an extract or all grain batch? Do you have a hop schedule, that might shed some light on the intention of the recipe if it's not clear elsewhere.

I boil as long as it takes. Based on sparge volume, grain bill, srm of the grains, total gravity points, etc.
Between 75 and 120 mins. I shoot for 6 g final volume.

Some malts require a longer boil to boil off DMS.
For example Pilsner malts are usually boiled for 90 minutes vice 60 for others.
A more experienced (read smarter) brewer will have to chime in.
