Is Durnehviir immortal?

Yes, Durnehviir is essentially immortal, as his name means "Curse Never Dying," and while his physical body can be defeated, he reforms in the Soul Cairn because his soul is bound there through his pact with the Ideal Masters, meaning he can't truly die or be permanently destroyed. Even if you defeat him in battle, he'll eventually return, and the Dragonborn's absorption of his soul doesn't end him because it's tied to the Soul Cairn's essence.

How long does Durnehviir stay summoned?

When you summon Durnehviir after learning the full shout in Skyrim, he stays for about 5 minutes in combat, flying around and helping you before returning to the Soul Cairn, but this can be extended by using shout cooldown reductions or if you've completed the Dawnguard questline and he's "free" from his pact, allowing him to follow you indefinitely until resummoned, acting as a permanent companion.

Will Durnehviir fight for you?

Yes, Durnehviir fights for you after you've made a pact with him in the Soul Cairn; he becomes a powerful summonable ally who joins combat, fights alongside you (often summoning undead minions), and teaches you the Soul Tear shout over three summons, but he is summoned using a shout rather than directly joining you like Odahviing.
