With the current situation in the middle east, the goal of the army is to get national guard rotations down to 12 months every 5 years, though its been a bit more often than that lately. Deployments right now are 15 months long, but the army is supposedly working on shortening them, but with the troop "surge" right now, that isn't gonna happen.

Depends on a lot of factors. #1 probably being how much the soldier's specialty is needed in what areas. It can be very short (mine for Desert Storm was 5 months, 18 days) or it can be for up to 18 months (maybe more).
I may be wrong in this part, but I think the deployment times for the guard are up to the state as well as the Army. So, a NG unit may come back from Iraq, only to find themselves reactivated by the governor for a natural disaster.

I don't really know the average, but we went in 2003 and stayed for 15 months.
