In the simpliest terms I can phrase it, American Football Is the one place in american soceity where one can impose thier will on another Physically. To answer some of your qustions,

There are 40 secons between plays typicly if the team leader ( Normally the QB) cannot orginize the play in that amount of time he calls a timeout to keep the team from receiving a 5 yard delay of game penalty .

The clock stops when a timeout is called or a forward pass does not reach an offensive player.
