Does driving the car also charge the battery if its dead?
Yes, once you have jump started the car (from another car's battery), driving the car will recharge the dead battery (provided the battery is OK). This is a terrible idea and may damage the alternator. Drive the car immediately home and charge the battery with a battery charger. Alternators are designed to keep a charged battery fully charged. They are not designed to charge a dead battery. This puts way too much strain on the alternator circuits.
How long do you have to drive around to charge a car battery after jump starting a car?
You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator.

Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.
