I would say "not very long" to all three of
those questions.>

Actually, it would be a bit longer then one
would think.  Genetic anomalies are not
something that people accept at face value.
If, from tomorrow, all these children were
born, they wouldn't get out of the hospital.

Science would demand awnsers of them, doctors
would need to be assured they were actually
fit enough to survive in 'our' world, parents
would either be too ashamed, or too afraid
(various reasons: their health, outside
reaction, ect) to let them out.  These
children, the first generation would live
their lives under our scrutiny.  They
wouldn't be given a chance to band together
to persecute us for several generations
because we would be persecuting them.

It would be the same story as the wizarding
world yes, but the secret lives to be lead,
would be by the 'new humans'.  The same
reason the muggles fear wizards is the same
reaction "Old humans" would have to the new.
We can't understand what is diffrent.
