No, it should only take a second or two to present the screen you left it on - it should wake up, just like from sleep.
The only time it should do a boot up is if you do a forced restart from the settings menu or hold the key over for 15+ seconds.
A 5-7 second hold puts it in what the manual calls "off" but it's more of a state of sleep like a computer uses. I'm assuming that's what you're referring to, from your next question:

2. Is it okay to just set it to sleep all the time? (instead of powering it off completely) Does the sleep mode drain the battery at all?

Usually, sleep is all you need. But it doesn't stop background tasks from occurring - some of which are resource-intensive. So yes, it can drain battery while sleeping.
So if you aren't going to use your kindle for several days, you should be sure to turn it off to save battery.

3. How come that my powered off Kindle I have in my bag which I´m carrying around gets sometimes automagically turned on? Anyone else experiencing this? Maybe it is enough that the power slide gets touched somehow while walking to turn it on. Kinda annoying.
4. Is it normal that if I click on a book it takes several seconds to open it?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

These definitely do not sound normal, and I agree with DreamWriter that the cover is the most likely culprit.
