Both are correct! Informed of the situation and informed about the changes are both commonly used by native speakers.
There is no set time, but usually, it implies 'as soon as something changes.' If it takes a long time, send a 'no-update' update.
No, that is grammatically incorrect. You must use the past participle informed because the person is the one being informed.
