    For how long should one ask for something important from Almighty Allah?

    There is no specific time period for waiting for the response to one’s supplication. But, if the believer insists on asking and seeking, then such supplications are closer to be answered.

    I would like to ask what is the procedure of changing one’s Marja of Taqleed?

    You can change the Marja that you follow based on religious evidence, like for instance when it is proven to you that the new Marja is more knowledgeable than the current one.

    Is Dua al-Tawassul recommended to read, and who first taught it?

    We cannot confirm that an Imam has recited this supplication. Yes, it has been reported in some books that the said supplication is narrated from one of the Imams (peace be upon them). Supplicating to Almighty Allah through the Prophet or the Imams (peace be upon them) is amongst the recommended deeds, whether we use this particular supplication or another Dua.

    I have been engaged to marry a girl, and both parties have expressed serious commitment. We will get married soon, God willing. In this situation, can I engage in a temporary marriage with the girl until we get married permanently, to keep us from prohibited acts, without our parents knowing?

    Yes, it is permissible for you to perform a temporary marriage contract without the permission of the father, but it is prohibited to have sexual intercourse, even if it is anal intercourse, but other sexual enjoyments are permissible then.
