How do the pairings work?

Hello!

For the 2010 U.S. chess championship, the pairings for round one were made official today. Here's a link to them:

My question is about if I'm reading that right. Does that mean Stripunksy and Nakamura will be playing each other? And Bhat will play Schulman? 

Also, I understand that the championship will be taking place from 2 pm to 8 pm, each day throughout the championship. Will these games really take 6 hours? What if one finishes before that? What do the competitors do?

Thanks!
