1/ For a particular species, you can estimate the average time per generation, right? Is it possible to do it for a few hops up the tree of descent, too? I'd like to see visualizations of that.

This is very much not my thing, hence why I still need to chase down some stuff from your paper. In my head, I can't imagine how you would estimate that. But, population geneticists seem to be very clever, so...

I think you're asking for too reductive a quantity. Rate of evolution is property of a population in an environment, not of particular individuals. To measure it well, it's better to measure directly rather than trying to estimate reproductive age/brood size & then work out rate.
