Don't ask and prepare for anything is the approach I take. As far as length, I feel like that's something they normally tell you so you can plan your day accordingly. If they didn't, I'd assume half hour for a phone call or an hour for in-person (unless it's a superday of course).
I always ask HR. It is perfectly acceptable to do so. Just ask what the interview format will be and how long you should expect it to be
I would ask HR or the head hunter about the structure of the process before the first round. They should elaborate on modelling tests, which rounds focus on technicals or personality.
