That is correct, it's six months for a short tour area, 12 months for a long tour area. 12 months from your report date, so actually 13 months total because your report date can't be the same month as your DEROS.
You'll still get orders, you'll just have to sign a declination statement to turn them down or an extension to go. Sign the extension, ETSing from OCONUS is a big pain.

Is there an extension less than 12 months? Or is it just better to do the 2 year reup and only add 7 months?

CPL (Join to see) you have to extend to the date where you will have 12 months from your report date if you are not in your reenlistment window. If you are, you will have to reenlist 2 years.

You need to talk with your Career Counselor, not your retention NCO. But just to get you started up see DA Pam 601-280.
