Time is going to depend on the car, I know some cars it doesn't take long at all, My dad old Jeep wrangler didn't take me but a few hours, where his old Thunderbird SUpercoupe was a weekend project.
The shops will most likely have a book time set for a waterpump in your car, and they wiull ususaly charge you for time based on that, if they finish in less then that time your paying extra for the quick work, if they take longer then that consider it a discounted per hour charge (altrhough i can see soem shops charging more)
FOr shop rates I have no clue, shop around, and see what other people in your area use and see what shops they prefer.
Dealers will generally be the most expensive but you know they will generally be used to wokring on your make car and will be using OEM parts, which are gennerally higher quality then some aftermarket pieces

ive done water pumps on some vehicles in about an hours time, but the hardest one i ever did paid 19 hours. had to remove the engine to replace it. it all depends on the labor cost in your area and for the vehicle as well as the part cost. ususally it is recommended that the belt(s) be changed and so on
