Answer 1

shell probably lay more for the next couple of days

Answer 2

Once she's done laying you can figure 14 days from the time she laid the middle egg.  Zebra finches are notorious for having negative reactions to disturbance so your best bet if the eggs are fertile is to leave them alone and don't disturb the parents, the nest or the cage except for to provide fresh food and water.  

Answer 3

It'll be over as soon as she's done laying.  Could be anywhere between 4-8 eggs.. (5-6 being most common).
