> How long do government shutdowns last?
That can't be predicted. One side or the other knuckles under at some point, but there is no schedule.
> How often do they happen?
A couple times every decade. Often enough that it one can see trends. The longest is also the most recent: 35 days in 2018. That was Trump's first term. Obama had one as well. They've been trending longer since the 1980's.
