    1. That's correct, if nothing has changed, you should not get any repeated results across pages.

    For reference, make sure you're always processing the returned results exactly as documented for listFolder.

    2. These cursors don't have any specific timeout, but they can become invalid in certain scenarios. 

    You'll get a ListFolderContinueError.RESET if the cursor is no longer valid.

    (By the way, you seem to be on the older v2.x docs. The above links are also to the v2.x docs for consistency, but the latest version can be found here.)
