It depends on the charge, but it is certainly significant and you need an attorney immediately. Speak with no one until after you have had counsel.

That will depend on what the sentencing guideline range is which is calculated using a number of factors. Without knowing all the facts of the case and the defendant's prior criminal history, it would be impossible to determine.

In Tennessee, there is no crime named 'Involuntary Manslaughter'. There IS a crime called 'Voluntary Manslaughter', which is a Class C Felony, punishable by between 3 and 15 years of either jail time or probation (and for sentences between 3 and 10 years, a person can actually get probation). -

If you have no prior felonies, the minimum sentence is probation, while the maximum sentence is 10 to 15 years. You could also get a jail sentence of 1 year or less, or a prison sentence of X to 15 years. The judge would decide on what the X would be, up to 10 years. The judge would be guided in part by sentencing guidelines.
