That may vary on the jurisdiction, and the probable cause for issuing the order. Generally, they are for two years.

A Temporary order is usually no more than 48 hours, though it may be longer under special circumstances.
A "Permanent" order is, in most jurisdictions, valid until the court actually ends it, but they may set a fixed period when they issue it.
"Until the protected person reaches the age of 18" isn't unusual where a parent seeks a protection order on behalf of a child. Other than that, a Judge has WIDE discretion in setting the terms.

It depends where you're at. You would need to contact your city government's protection order unit. I work at a police dept and I've seen emergency protective orders issued for family violence cases for 3 months while the city issues them one. And those are for like a year or two. But here, there has to be a history of family violence before they are issued. Somebody can't just go and say "I want a protection order against this person."

Depends on each order and why the order was given.

They are only finite if they have an end date. If they contain no date, then it continues. Call your local cop shop.
