1. How many tribbles do you need in 1 location to breed them?
2. How long does it take for them to breed?
3. Does it take less time for breeding if there are more at the location?
I've had the insta tribble, and I've seen ones that have had food next to them all day before breeding. It really depends on how hungry the tribble is, and whether the Klingon that dropped them in the first place had fed them that day.
The insta tribble could be a fallacy now that we can see the /played is in use here.
EG.
You log in and type /played with the following results:
You have played this character for 9 days 23 hours 58 minutes 5 seconds
This would mean that within 1 minute and 55 seconds it will birth a tribble.
Compared to ..
You have played this character for 9 days 23 hours 0 minutes 1 second
Doh, you missed the hour birth tick .. you're gonna have to wait 59 minutes for the next one.
I haven't personally tested this out myself for the from login to the first session birth but once a birth has happened it would be exactly an hour later before another is born so I can quite believe the by the hour on the hour scenario of your game time over time.

1] One plus food.
2] Every hour online (/played) they breed
3] no
I have had some breed instantly. I put them and food together and Bam.. no more food and I get another tribble.

Heck, if breeding tribbles gets much more popular, STO will stand for 'Sexxing up Tribbles Online"
So, characters give birth to tribbles? This is new, as I thought Tribbles come from tribbles.
