Depends on the injury, but at least 4-6 weeks.
It depends on the type of dislocation. That would be a discussion between you and your orthopedic surgeon
If truly dislocated then surgery is needed and these can easily take over 1 year to heal.
There is no easy answers here. It depends on a lot of factors, Is there any other structures involved? How strong is the surrounding muscles? How lax are the ligaments around the ankle now? All of these and more will affect the prognosis. I would recommend you see a local Physical Therapist for a individualized plan of care.
Depends on the type of dislocation, location, severity, surgery, etc. Some may heal in 6-12 weeks, others may need 3-6 months, etc.
