Is the chance of repairing a bridge tied to turn length at all? The chances of repairing a bridge during a one-hour turn should be less than during a full week turn, in fact there should probably be some minimum duration.

That's controlled by the scenario designer. Both by how many engineer squads he provides and by the engineering rate parameter.

TOAW fails in many aspects when it comes to engineering and bridges. Not every bridge is the same. A bridge across a small river is not the same as a bridge across a huge river. Yet the game sees them both as the same thing.

Can the bridges be build in TAOW (so not rebuilt)?
I'm playing FITE2 and in some place that ze Germans did built them I'd love to do it as well.

Bridges cannot be built as new structures. They can only be destroyed or repaired.

You can leave a bridging unit in the hex as long as you want.

I see in the editor that engineers can be set for 1 to 999 with 100 being the typical setting. What does this mean? Does it mean the anything greater than 100 makes them more efficient and anything less than 100 makes them less efficient? Or do I have it backwards? Or am I way off?

8.5.2 in the manual.

Thanks. That is what I have been looking for.
