How long is the main story/campaign?

For a GBA title, the story campaign is quite substantial. It takes most players 3-5 hours for a standard playthrough, with plenty of bonus unlockables and other game modes extending that significantly.

Does progress in Duel or Hard Mode unlock anything for the main story?

No. Progress in the main Story Mode and the extra modes are generally kept separate, with story-progression elements mostly restricted to Story Mode, preserving its primary adventure focus.
