Regarding the time to complete the visa formalities, QP may take 1 to 3 months. This is normal for QP So, just don't get panic and just wait wait and wait. You are surely going to get a visa.

11,500/- QR HRA is quite ok for getting a 2 BHK flat, even you can share an independent part of villa with someone. I am an Indian too, so you can take my word.

Daily commuting from Doha to Ras Lafan is not at all fun. Distance is 100kms approximately one way and the traffic is horrible. Living at AL-Khour can be a way to reduce time spent on traveling. But I don't know if any good Indian School is there.
