The US Army commander was Lt. Gen. Walter Short. The Navy commander was Admiral Husband E. Kimmel.
Overall commander for the Japanese was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Yamamoto was also the man who came up with the idea for the Peral Harbor attack. He did not want to go to war with the Americans, but thought that if the Japanese could knock out the American fleet early the Japanese might gain enough time to take Pacific islands and construct a defensive perimeter the Americans couldn't break.
Admiral Chuichi Nagumo commanded the carrier strike force that launched the Pearl Harbor attack.

The attack to Pearl Harbor by the Japanese army took place the morning of the 7th of December of 1941. This bombing was intended to be a preventive action, but instead was the even that triggered the US participation in the World War II. The Japanese general of the Imperial Japanese Army in charge during that attack was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
first answer: It began at 7:55 am and ended at 9:45 am. second answer: Yes, the above answer is correct with regards to Pearl Harbor itself. However the Japanese Pearl Harbor Strike Force actually struck first at Kaneohe air station at 7:48am when Zeros stafed the base. This happened even before the Japanese Strike Leader, Fuchida, sent the famous "tora, tora, tora" message at 7:53am. Remember, the "Pearl Harbor" attack was actually an attack on the majority of all US military bases on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, not just the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
