This time my question is, how long does it take for the Lemmy server I just set up to finish federation? What does the "allowed instances" list do in the admin settings? Does it allow the Lemmy server to only connect to those instances or is it a list of the starting instances from which it federates to others?

Allowed instances is an exclusive list of servers you want to federate with. Leaving it empty means it's not in effect.
