A caterpillar may stay in there as long as 4-9 days average
The caterpillar makes a cocoon to complete the metamorphosis and turn in to a moth, butterflies make a chrysalis.
No. They lay eggs which turn into a caterpillar. The caterpillar turns into a cocoon then into a butterfly.

The cocoon stage for a caterpillar to become a butterfly can vary in length by species. Some are in their cocoon for a few weeks to a month, while some have Pupa stages that can last for two years.
If your caterpillar turned brown it might either have died or, most likely, it pupated and started to turn into a butterfly or a moth. Usually if it is a dark brown and still caterpillar-shaped, it has probably died, but if it is a lighter brown or reddish colour and has a different shape, it is most likely starting a cocoon.
Caterpillars usually go into a cocoon during late-winter or late spring(March-may)
As long as it takes my gran to get out of the bath
Caterpillars turn into either a butterfly or a moth.
If you leave it there, and nothing else comes along and eats it, then eventually the bottom of the cocoon opens up and a moth or a butterfly struggles out. It sits in the air for a while drying out, then it flys away. If it's a moth, it lays eggs, never eats, and dies.
