If I remember correctly from the last time I did it, probably around 20 
or 30 minutes. I wasn't really paying attention, so I could be completely 
wrong.

Yes, it should all pass, but some failures aren't very important. If 
you're using the latest development version, you should expect some 
failures. Some modules are optional, like ssl and tkinter, or are 
disabled by default. If you are missing external dependencies like the SSL 
libraries, the ssl module will fail to work correctly.

I would expect those to pass.
