Mass holds temperature--the more mass, the better it holds temperature...but, conversely, the longer it takes to get it to temperature all the way through.
Temperature affects the time it takes to freeze water because hot water will freeze slower than cold water because it has more thermal energy. I hope I answerd your question!
What takes longer to melt ice or freeze water?
yes of course. A puddle will freeze completely before a lake.
On the contrary, it takes longer for salt water to freeze - it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water does.
Lakes, and to a lesser degree, rivers, freeze as the ambient temperature reduces below Zero. This never happens "suddenly" and it takes time for the water to assume the surrounding temperature.

Yes
The starting temperature will certainly affect the time it takes for water to freeze. By definition, the temperature will be the same for both the water that started warm as it is for the water that started cool when they both freeze. The time difference comes from going from warm (~85 degrees) to freezing (32 degrees) and from cool (~50 degrees) to freezing (32 degrees).

No, its the total opposite.
There is no standard length of time that it takes for a gallon of water to freeze. The amount of time it takes for a gallon of water to freeze can vary depending upon many different things such as temperature.
It would depend on the temperature difference.

There's less water, it takes less time for all if it to reach freezing temperature.
