Answer 1

LENGTH_SHORT & LENGTH_LONG are mapped to time interval of 1 Second (1000mS) & 5 Seconds (5000mS) respectively,

To see this you need to dig into the AOSP source code of Toast. You can see in the Toast class time interval is decided based on the FLAG

mParams.hideTimeoutMilliseconds = mDuration == Toast.LENGTH_LONG ? LONG_DURATION_TIMEOUT : SHORT_DURATION_TIMEOUT;

where

 static final long SHORT_DURATION_TIMEOUT = 5000;
  static final long LONG_DURATION_TIMEOUT = 1000;
