I don't think there's a particular regulation + each service has there on version which changes to the conditions at the time/quarter/readiness status/dependents/etc.

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

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.
