A week is never a problem, we leave all our tanks without food during week long vacations. A healthy fish will likely go over this but for vacations over 1 week I have someone feed the fish every other day.
Hope that helps

The Goldfish is a favorite fish for many. How many of us didn't keep one at one time or another? They are usually very hardy fish and can live in temperatures ranging from 40°F - 90°F (4°C - 32°C). It is important to note that Goldfish have an extremely long lifespan if cared for properly, so getting one can become a long term commitment. Many varieties are available with many different markings and colors including gold, orange, white and black.
The can sometimes come down with swim bladder disease and occasionally freshwater ich. It's very important to provide your fish with frequent water changes and quality, nutritious goldfish food.
You can also make life much better for your fish by getting some form of filtration, such as a box or corner filter with a small air pump. These small filters are fairly inexpensive and the filter media can be changed out easily when you do a water change.
To increase your chance of success with goldfish keeping, try not to keep them in a tiny goldfish bowl. A tiny bowl will become polluted quickly and you'll have to perform maintenance all of the time. Instead, get them at least a 10 gallon tank with a filter and heater

It depends. I wouldn't go longer than a week... and even then I'd make sure there were plants in the tank to eat and perhaps a hunk of zucchini. If you're going away, you should get some anacharis plants and put them in the tank. The goldies can munch on the anacharis while you're gone.

Probably a few days.. they will also feed on things on the bottom of the tank as well. So, they wouldn't be fully deprived of food as they would pick at things on the gravel of the tank.
