Answer 1

It would really depend how desperate we become to extract.
I attended a course probably close to a decade ago that gave predictions on predicted fuel reserves which put uranium at around 120yrs remaining and so e other reactor type fuels has 200-250years. But that was based on predicted usage increases not total conversion so probably only about 50-60 years total with current found resources
