According to the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, somebody from the requesting state has to come and get the accused within a period of 30 days. If the accused waives extradition, does that mean the requesting state has all the time in the world to come and pick the accused up?

Usually the state holding the person waiving the extraditing wants the jail space & will ask for immediate pick up. The Judge will ask for the immediate transfer. It should occur within the 30 days but due to over work of the Officers sometimes in takes longer to get someone there to pickup the prisoner.
It does not change the statue of limitations as that has a set limit except for murder.

extradition has nothing to do with statute of limitations. extradition only means you were arrested in a place where your warrant was not ussued

Not exactly. It means that they can come pick you up and charge you with the crime up until the statute of limitations for THAT CRIME in THAT STATE runs. There are multiple ways they can toll the statute of limitations so that it is delayed.
