1) That will depend entirely on your employer - with my previous employer it took them 3 months to agree to do it and sign up to it. The sign up process itself should be relatively quick once they agree to do it - 1-2 weeks if I recall.
2) You won't be able to see that until your employer is signed up.
3) FMV of the bike is normally determined by your employer unless they return the bike to cyclesheme. They cannot state the FMV before or during the hire period but if you work for a small enough company then they can informally give you an idea of how they will handle it.
