The pope is elected by the College of Cardinals who meet ten days after the previous pope dies. Recent elections have taken several ballots at the rate of four a day. It normally takes a career as priest, bishop and cardinal before you have a chance to be elected pope. Recent popes have been between 60 and 80 years old (roughly) when they were elected.
That depends upon the cardinal electors. If there is considerable consensus, a pope can be elected in a single day. However, if there is considerable division, it has taken as long as nearly 3 years to elect a new pontiff.
The 1922 conclave that elected Pius XI lasted for five days. It took fourteen ballots.
