We believe that Saturn's moon Titan probably formed about the same time that Saturn and the rest of the solar system did; a bit over 4.5 billion years ago. It's a bit too large for it to be captured by gravity.

How long is one Saturn month?
What do you mean by "Saturn month"? On Earth, a "month" is based upon the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth or to go through its phases. Saturn has several large moons; you can look up their periods of revolution around Saturn if you like. Titan is easily Saturn's largest moon You could define a "Saturn month" based on Titan's period of revolution, but there is no such term in general use.

How long would it take to get to titan from earth?
The distance that Titan can be from the Earth is: 1,200,217,664 km to 1,666,681,075 km.To calculate Titan's distance from earth with need 3 sets of numbers:- Saturn's orbital distance from the Sun:Aphelion1,513,325,783 km10.115 958 04 AUPerihelion1,353,572,956 km9.048 076 35 AU- Earth's orbital Distance from the sun:Aphelion152,098,232 km1.01671388 AU[note 2]Perihelion147,098,290 km0.98329134 AU[note 2- Titan's orbital distance from Saturn:Periapsis1,186,680 kmApoapsis1,257,060 kmTherefor, to calculate the Maximum distance Titan is from the Earth, when Titan is on the opposite side of Saturn, and Saturn and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun:D(Max) = Titan (Apoapsis) + Earth (Aphelion) + Saturn (Aphelion)D(Max) = 1,257,060 km + 152,098,232 km + 1,513,325,783 kmD(Max) = 1,666,681,075 kmThe Minimum distance Titan is from Earth, when Titan is on the Earth side of Saturn, and Saturn and Earth are in line with, and on the same side of the Sun:D(Min) = Saturn (Perihelion - Closest to Sun) - Titan (Apoapsis - Furthrest from Saturn) - Earth (Aphelion - Furthest from Sun/Closest to Saturn)D(Min) = 1,353,572,956 km - 1,257,060 km - 152,098,232 kmD(Min) = 1,200,217,664 kmTherefor, the range of distance that Titan can be from the Earth is: 1,200,217,664 km to 1,666,681,075 km.
