Possible to limit the countries an iOS application is released to?

Yes, you can control which App Stores you app is sold in. This can be done in iTunes Connect.

Can restrict in-app purchases for certain countries?

No , You can't specially restrict In app purchase for certain countries. There have only way to do using app release restriction for certain countries. Please check iTunes -> Rights and Pricing > Select specific territories for app release restriction for certain countries.

How much time does it take after updating country availability in app store

Well there isn't any specific time constraint limit, set/committed by Apple for this (or any other) process. The time they take to process you update, depends upon rush/queue of application submission and updates on store.

There is a small window of hope, provided by Apple, if you've an emergency or urgency to update your app (country list) on store.

Send a request to Apple using your developer account and contact CSR team. They will definitely listen you and consider your request.

I hope this may help you...
