Heck no. You won't have time to let it stale on its own, but you can always dry it out in the oven on a low temperature. Just let the loaf cool on it's own then cube and spread out on a baking tray and pop in the oven at 300 (I'm guessing here) tossing every now and then for about 25 minute or until it dries out.
Not at all. If you do it all at room temp (no refrigerator rise), it should take about 4 hours total.

Just remember to proof the yeast, to make sure it's active.
Have a good thanksgiving!
Nope, not too late at all. Many challahs are quick to make and you can have them ready and cooling by this afternoon! MrsWheelBarrow makes 6 loaves of challah on Thanksgiving and uses this recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/3983-my-greatgrandmother-s-challah. It rises for about 3 1/2 hours and bakes for 35 to 40 minutes, so it'll be ready today!! This recipe is also quick: https://food52.com/recipes/3983-my-greatgrandmother-s-challah
This Genius recipe takes 24 hours (https://food52.com/blog/14039-a-genius-no-knead-challah-that-tastes-just-as-good-on-day-3) and makes the best challah I've ever had. You should try it! But maybe another time. :)
