Can I play against another person?

Yes. Select Human vs Human on the setup screen. Player 1 (left paddle) uses W/S, Player 2 (right paddle) uses the arrow keys, both on the same device.

How hard is the hardest CPU level?

The Insane level reacts almost instantly and tracks the ball closely, but stays beatable with well-angled shots.

Can I change how long a match is?

Yes. Choose how many points win a set and how many sets make up the match on the setup screen before starting.
