If I remember correctly its something like 20 seconds to boot up, not instantaneous but not 3 minutes either.
The power draw is very similar to the SB3, about 5 watts that can go up to 7 or so when working hard. It comes with a supply that can provide considerably more than this because it also has to provide power over the USB port for bus powered drives. I think the supply is rated for 15 watts max. You shut it down by pulling the plug, its designed for that. The one thing that can cause a problem is an external drive, they usually do not come with file systems that allow them to handle "pulling the plug" gracefully. There is an "eject USB drive" button for this purpose. So if you are using a drive plugged into the USB port its probably a good idea to "eject the drive" before unplugging the Touch.
