Yes, Redstone will only power for 15 blocks. You can add repeaters, or you can make your wiring more compact. How long is the bridge? If it's over 15 then you will definitely need repeaters. However, 1 repeater will add 1 tick of delay. You will notice that whatever is beyond the repeaters will lag a little bit behind. However, you can be creative with this and add more repeaters so that your bridge doesn't come up all at once but instead it takes a second for each trap door to activate.

You could do that, or add repeaters going directly into the trap doors, with the line behind them. Then, when the signal dies, add your repeater and the last few can just be powered by the dust. Then, they will all open and close at once.

I do it all the time, it's not really a big concern with doors though, they still function. It's more useful with things like shift registers, where you need a 1-tick pulse to hit the clock inputs at the exact same time. If they don't, things go haywire and you end up with 2 bits in the register or something weird.
With horizontal piston doors I like for it to open from the side closest to you, with a 1-tick delay for each set of pistons, like what you described. It just looks cool and makes me feel more James Bond-like.

Never thought of that; good idea.
