I have a 29 inch floating Shelf I bought from Ikea, but the size makes it so only one end could be in the stud,right. Im only going to put a couple frames on the shelf, is it strong enough?

theres plugs you can get that you push into the hole so a screw can grab into it and not pull out of the drywall

Yeah the paper with gypsum in between the two layers, just be sure that to drill a hole is large enough for the toggle wing part to go through and pop out but still hidden when you install the shelf.

Usually it's 1/2" for most walls, as long as your home isn't really old and has that plaster and lathe stuff you shouldn't have any difficulties.
