Oddly, Venus rotates from east to west, the opposite direction from most other planets and moons. This type of rotation is called retrograde rotation, from the Latin words for "moving backward".
What planet is a inner planet and has a retrograde rotation?
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).

How much time does each planet take for a single rotation?
This varies, depending mainly on collisions that have occured in the past. The rotation periods in days (time taken for the planet to rotate once on its axis relative to background stars) for each of the planets is as follows; Mercury = 58.646 Venus = -243.019 (spins in opposite direction) Earth = 0.997 Mars = 1.026 Jupiter = 0.410 Saturn = 0.426 Uranus = -0.718 (spins in opposite direction) Neptune = 0.671 This is different to an `apparent day` as an `apparent day` factors in the movement of the planet around the sun during its rotation. negative results for Venus and Uranus show that these planets spin in the opposite direction to most other planets (retrograde).
