1-2 weeks is fine for dry hopping. FTR I know it is too late now next time just get a hop sock and dry hop directly in the keg. There is no need to secondary in a carboy if you have a keg for most beers. A keg is basically a big secondary - blow out the sediment with the fort pint or two and you are ready to go!

It will if you leave it in contact for months and months. But you are fine for several weeks. You can also just put them in a bag and remove them after a week or two if it concerns you.
