All Club Programs are three days per week, at the moment.

One to two hours depending on the program and resting periods.
Generally the programs follow a 'tried-and-true' periodization pattern. This is a proven method to limit injury, to avoid over-training, and facilitate improvement. Cycles are divided into three weeks of gradual progression followed by a 'deload' week to allow the body to recover and super-compensate. There are several other ways to approach training periodization and you can see that in the personalized plans.
For the current Olympic Weightlifting or Kettlebell programs it's important that you are technically knowledgable enough to perform the lifts safely.
Yes and no. The Strength programs are more accessible technique wise, however that's not the case for Olympic Weightlifting or Kettlebell Sport. In any case it's highly recommended to approach the weights very conservatively and to take advantage of the video reviews or getting coaching until you are more proficient.
For most programs you would need access to free weights, and a safe to lift surface such as a weightlifting platform or mats. In the case of Olympic weightlifting, an olympic weightlifting barbell, bumper plates, squat rack, lifting straps, and chalk. Having access to boxes for pulls would be great but you can still train without them. In the case of kettlebell sport competition kettlebells are highly recommended. In the case of strength the requirements are much more flexible for the barbell and plates, a bench, a safety cage or other measure to provide spotting for bench pressing is highly recommended.
