Mousse is typically made from a base of whipped cream, egg whites, and a flavoring agent like chocolate or fruit puree. Gelatin or agar may also be used to help the mousse set and hold its shape.
The egg yolk helps set the mousse, and adds richness. The sugar is necessary for sweetness and texture. If your recipe involves beating egg yolk and sugar together until pale and fluffy, this results in tiny airbubbles being trapped in the mixture. These air bubbles are what makes your chocolate mousse a "mousse".
There is no set time. It depends on a variety of factors, like heat amount, total amount of chocolate, and how you are melting the chocolate. In a microwave (stirring every 30 seconds), it should take 2 to 3 minutes. Over a double-boiler, it should take about 10 minutes or so.
Once it has been tempered and set again, if stored properly, chocolate will last for a few weeks.

It depends. If you are working alone, expect it to take a few hours to do. If you have people helping you, it will not take as long.

Mousse is made by whipping raw eggs until they are very thick and incorporating melted chocolate or other flavoring. It is not cooked, only chilled. The eggs are consumed raw. Bavarian Cream, while it does have some egg, also has heavy creams in it. It is cooked on the stovetop and chilled.
