How long do these lights stay on at night?

Runtime depends on how much sun the panel gets. Expect a few hours after a full sunny day and much less after overcast weather.

Can I leave them outside in rain?

They are sold as outdoor lights, but keep the solar panel angled and clear of standing water, and bring the panel in during severe storms.

Some units run flash animation only. Check the switch on the strand before buying if you want a constant glow.

Each strand has its own solar panel, so plan one panel per 23 ft run rather than daisy-chaining them.

No. Treat them as decorative accent light for trees, fences and pergolas, not as patio illumination.
