    Last year I heard an hour after the interview but I am noticing that they are taking a little bit more now so I would say a couple of days to a week. Alternatively, you might want to email them if a long time has passed to just ask for an update.

    Yes, you can, there is nothing stopping you from applying provided you have more experiences to talk about in your experiences but unless a law firm specifically makes it clear that you cannot apply, always assume that your application is welcomed!

    I think you could mention a couple and develop your answer around them. Public speaking is good if it is something you struggle with and yes I would definitely talk about how you are improving this.
