How many seconds should you count the radial pulse?
15 seconds (and then multiply by four, to obtain the pulse rate).
How many seconds should you check for breathing?
It's either they have a pulse or they don't. It's not going to magically appear in the next three minutes. So about 10 seconds, AT THE MOST, a pulse should be assessed and if there isn't any present at the carotid artery (at the neck) then CPR and ventilations should be started immediately. In a critical emergency where someone isn't breathing or doesn't have a pulse, there is NO time for TIME! Actions must be made quick but you've got to be sure of your final decision. It's apart of EMS.
The pulse is taken for how many seconds before multiplying by ten is it for 3 seconds or is it for 6 seconds or is it 10 seconds or is it none of the above?
If you are trying to find your pulse per minute you would take your pulse for 6 seconds and then multiply it by 10. You could also take your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply it by 6

Why check carotid pulse in CPR?
When people go into cardiac arrest, their body usually cuts off most circulation to their extremities to keep the core of their body alive. So, a patient could have a very weak or absent radial pulse but they may still have a carotid pulse. it is also used to compare the radial pulse to the carotid pulse. You should check for a carotid pulse every few minutes, at the same time check for breathing, coughing, and moving. Don't check it more often than that as stopping chest compressions can waste precious time. Continue CPR if there is no breathing or pulse, ect.
