1. Without double checking, I'm very sure they are the same as any judgment: valid for 10 years and renewable every 10 years until paid.
2. Yes. Recording has nothing to do with credit reporting. That is only to attach the judgment to any real property the judgment debtor has or acquires.

10 years, and they can be renewed again for another 10 year period.
