This limit is not mentioned anywhere in the documents. This limit is user specific i.e If u are making 600 calls in 600 secs for 1 or more tokens of a user. There can be a workaround by using tokens of different Apps but same user, if u need to make so many calls.

1.I don't think there is any rate limit on the Graph API although they have some thresholds mentioned at Facebook Platform Policies stating

If you exceed, or plan to exceed, any of the following thresholds please contact us as you may be subject to additional terms: (>5M MAU) or (>100M API calls per day) or (>50M impressions per day).

2.The access token (and not extended access token) has validity of 60 mins. You can also query Facebook Token Debug API for the exact token expiration. Although Facebook mentions this short duration in a range of 1 to 2 hours here, which can be used to retrieve a extended access token with validity of 60 days.
