C. How long will it take?
D. If I don't like the update, how do I uninstall it, and is it easy (I'm a computer don't-know-it-all. I'm clueless, as you can tell).

A. It will open a download prompt asking you whether you want to save or open the file. I recommend saving it to a location that you'll remember and then opening the file.
B. There should be no risk in downloading a graphics driver from the intel website. If, for some odd reason, the install screws up your system, the worst thing that can happen is that Windows will BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). In which case, once rebooted, Windows should ask you if you want to boot up using the last known good configuration.
C. The download speed will be determined by your connection to intel. The larger the file, the longer it will take to download. The install speed will be determined by your computer's capability.
D. If you don't like the update, you should be able to do a driver rollback from the hardware manager. It is simple enough.
