Answer 1

In central admin there is a timer job called workflow. I would check that timer job to see what interval it is set at or if it is failing.

To view the workflow timer job:

1. go to central admin-->monitoring-->
2. under timer jobs click on review job definitions

3. locate timer job "workflow"

4. From here you'll be able to see how often this timer job runs. Mine is set to run every 5 minutes.

To see if that timer job is failing:

1. In the same section as the job definition there will be a link on the left hand side called job history.

2. filter the list to failed jobs and search for the workflow timer job

Looking at these items might help determine if the workflow isn't being triggered because of something outside of the workflow itself.
