There is no single answer to your question. In a sense, the explosion itself is over within a matter of seconds. But the envelope of the dying star is expelled with such speed that, when it ploughs into the interstellar gas, it is heated to millions of degrees and remain bright in X-rays for tens of thousands of years. In the visual light, how long you can track supernovae depends on their distance. Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud (which is relatively nearby as these things go) is still being followed from the ground and from the Hubble Space Telescope:

In effect the explosion is over when the solid object come to rest and the pressure wave has passed - this takes longer then the initial, rapid release of the energy driving the event.

The explosion ejected at least 5 cubic miles of rock, ash and pumice and was the equivalent of 200 megatons of TNT
Is Mt Krakatoa going to erupt again?
It is erupting almost weekly. With the gradual rebuilding of a small cone within the remnant islands, small eruptions have occurred since 1950, notably in 2008 and 2010. However, these are nowhere near the strength of the cataclysmic 1883 explosion.
What was the Krakatoa haze?
It was volcanic ash and dust cloud ejected into the upper atmosphere by the explosion of the volcano.

No. Krakatoa is an active volcano, continuing to rumble and erupt on a regular basis since its last massive explosion in 1883.
