Will I get new .onion address each time?
Onion address is generated for each new container, if you are using the same container it won't change ever.
Are any ports exposed?
No, tor is running inside container which connects to Network using Virtual Ethernet.
How much time it takes for website to get live?
5-8 seconds with normal Internet Speed. If your connectivity is weak, try waiting for few mins till Tor picks some relay as introduction point and adds new entry in Distributed Hash Table (DHT). More info here.
