As long as it takes for the aquifer to recharge. The well will not be supplied with water until the water table rises again, since the well forms a cone of depression in the aquifer. (Think about drinking maple syrup through a coffee stirrer). That could be as long as, say, until the cows come home.

Yes, clearly. A well has a source of water that collectively gathers over time. The water levels increase and decrease with time. Anything with a source such as water in a well can decrease to nothing. Since a well has a source, the source can become vacant and completely run out of water. This doesn't mean the well will be dry forever, just that it's possible.
