There's no set length. Generally about a paragraph, enough to reiterate the important points of your paper.

That depends on the length of the paper. If it's a standard 5-paragraph paper, your conclusion would be one paragraph of approximately equal length to the others in the paper (generally, 5 sentences).
If it's a 10-page report, I would say between 10-15% of the overall length should be devoted to the conclusion (with another 10-15% devoted to the opening and the rest being your arguments and/or information).

Every paragraph should have a minimum of 5 sentences. Your conclusion summarizes the information you've provided in your paper and provides a statement indicating where you stand on the issue discussed in your paper.

It's not really how long, but more of if you brought the point. As in..the thesis has been restated, and the reason you rote the essay is written.
So atleast 3 sentences should be suffiecient, but for a better grade,,get atleast 5.

It depends on the wording and accuracy. Well chosen words and a short, informative reference to the summary if need be- should be sufficient. It can be one sentence or several.
Does that make sense?

Well, basically if you have summarized your argument and added a conclusury sentence you are done. There is no requirement as far as length
