Hi, these are my 2 cents on this matter, I hope you find them worthy:

1) about the duel, I don't think it will be magic and only magic, DD always said that 
Harry's greatest power is love, and that will come into the equation somehow

2) about the horcruxes and the lenght of book 7, well, I thought about it, and my 
conclusion is that a book where the guys go around the world looking for them 
wouldn't fit, so the final horcruxes MUST be in familiar places - let's do the math:

H1 - the diary - destroyed
H2 - the ring - destroyed
H3 - the locket - surely in Sirius' house, we've seen it (I was stunned when I read 
about it in this forum, how do people remember those things??)
H4 - the snake - last one the be destroyed, to be found at LV's side
H5 - the cup - tricky one, but has to be somewhere near...don't ff say that the 
Weasleys are related to Hufflepuff? and the twins, they buy strange things...
H6 - mysterious object - ?

I think that either H5 or H6 are in Godric's Hollow. 

The key to book 7 is taht LV is stupid: he wouldn't place an Horcrux under Mrs 
Wilson house in Birmingham (whoever he is), even though in this way it would be 
impossible to find. He would choose, instead, meaningful places. And these we can 
find.
