how long can primer be left on?

how long can a car be primed and still have the paint stick to it?

AFAIK, a very long time. Regardless though, the primer should be cleaned and lightly sanded before applying paint.

can the molding on the doors and bumpers be sanded down and primed also?

Urethane primer is the way to go. it remains flexible. Stay away from laquers & enamels, they're yesterdays' news.
