With a lot of traffic across a wireless network (i.e., ping flood or downloading a large .iso file) you should receive a few hundred thousand IVs within 5-10 minutes.

If you don't have access to the network, yes, you'd have to wait, unless you used aireplay (with permission, of course). In that case, you could capture enough IVs in perhaps 10-15 minutes.

Generally, yes.
Keep in mind these responses are based on my experiences, some other people may have slightly different answers.
