Codeine will take 30 mins to feel an effect on pain, even on an empty stomach. By an hour the codiene is well into your body and you should (if taken enough) have a high that helps alleviate severe pain. By 2 hours it should be peaking in your blood. Depending on dose size, it will likely last 5-7 hours before you need to redose (always follow Doctor’s dose sizes)

if you have over the counter codiene mixed with either paracetamol and Ibrofen will take the same time. And you can doses as high as 80mg of Codiene which will cure severe pain.

I'm not really sure but I'm guessing 15-20 minutes. I guess it depends which painkiller you're taking. I take paracetamol.
