How long will the air trace produce smoke for left constantly running?

Typically up to 10 minutes from a fully charged battery with a steady stream of smoke.

In a furnished house will the smoke leave a residue?

Yes, it can leave a light residue but this also depends on the density of the smoke and the size of the area being tested.

Should I disable smoke detectors/fire alarms for carrying out a smoke test?

Even artificial smoke (if in dense enough conditions) will trigger ionisation / optical, aspirating (eg. VESDA) or video smoke detection systems. "Rate of temperature increase" detectors would not be activated by artificial smoke. These smoke generators are often used by professionals for smoke detector testing!
