This depends on the maximum time that he could get for the underlying charge. I would have to know that in order to answer this question.

Violating probation can result in jail or prison time. How much time would depend on many factors including the sentencing charge, the type of violation, specific facts surrounding the violation, and prior criminal record. He should hire an attorney.

Typically up to 50 days before the revocation hearing and then as long as it takes to schedule a return before the judge for sentencing.

No quick answer. Depends on the County and the judge. They cannot, however, "start probation all over again." There is a misunderstanding here.
