The Moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined at an angle to the equator and in some circumstances the turning of the globe and the orbit of the moon are apparently moving in the same direction. This means that a country in the path of totality that is turning with the Moon will experience a longer eclipse than at other times and places.

That's correct. A lunar eclipse can last for several hours, while a solar eclipse typically lasts only a few minutes at any given location.

The duration of a solar eclipse?
I believe that it is effected by the equinox. Because the sun appears to move faster across our sky's in the winter or slower in the summer this might be the main cause of why a solar eclipse might differ in time. The moons distance from the earth also differs and this may also affect the rate of time that a lunar or solar eclipse occurs.
