Can I generate an E-Way Bill and IRN e-invoice at the exact same time in Tally Prime?

Yes. In Sales Voucher (F8), press F12 (Configure) and set 'Send e-Way Bill details with e-Invoice' to Yes. Tally Prime sends both Part A & Part B details to the IRP, generating IRN and E-Way Bill simultaneously.

How long does it take for e-invoices to auto-populate into GSTR-1 on the GST portal?

E-invoices generated on the IRP auto-populate into GSTR-1 (B2B, B2C Large, Exports, HSN Table 12) within T+2 days of IRN generation.

What happens if Part B (Vehicle details) is missing during e-invoice generation?

Tally Prime generates the IRN and E-Way Bill Part A. Part B remains in 'Pending for Updation' in the e-Way Bill report until vehicle details are entered and sent via Alt+Z.
