15-20 minutes

Depends on the surgery. I just recently had surgery and I could not have any OTC drug for 24 before or after the surgery.
after surgery? well you should wait a few days or weeks until you get back to your normal routine before you had the surgery
You should stop aspirin or any other anticoagulants at least 5 days prior to surgery. Your surgeon should instruct you specifically when to stop it though.
Ask your doctor or surgeon. Only that person can tell you how long before you can drive when you have had any kind of surgery.

2 weeks prior to surgery, a week is ok but stop as soon as possible, I found out I was having surgery in a week and I obviously wasnt informed about not taking any advil and such a week before so its ok.

As, your surgeon and especially your anesthesiologist what you can eat and how long before surgery you can eat. The danger is that your body is asleep and immobile during surgery, so you may choke on your stomach contents if you've eaten too much or eaten too soon before surgery.
Before i had brain surgery i was on large doses of tramadol. The drs didnt have any problem with me taking it the day before i went in but preferred me to be unmedicated when i went into the hospital. once i was in, they gave me all the medication i needed.
