At first the Japanese did not believe that one bomb could create THAT much damage. After the second city was atom bombed, the Japanese surrendered rather quickly.
The Japanese civilians wanted to know that their emperor would be allowed to stay in power of they surrendered to the United States. Their surrender guidelines were virtually the same as the Americans and Japan was basically defeated already, they were ready to surrender before the bomb was dropped.

1.) How long did it take for the radiation levels In Hiroshima to go back to normal ?
See: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
yes, because if the US hadn't used the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then the Japanese would basically take over the whole world. When we bombed the two cities, the Japanese had no other choice but surrender, otherwise, we would have bombed two more cities, causing more deaths.
That would really take a long time, since there is no Japanese space center on the moon.

yes and no. i think the primary goal of Hiroshima was to showcase to the watching world, that a new epoch had been passed. Maybe with the knowledge that it would also take Nagasaki to secure Japan's surrender, they may never have dropped one.
