If she, indeed, died, do you know how long her body was dead before it was revived and taken to heaven?

I would think about 3 and half days.
The amount of time Lazarus and the 2 two witnesses lay dead before Jesus resurrected them.

Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary
LAZARUS AND ABRAHAM'S BOSOM

John 11:
39 Jesus is saying "take away ye! the stone".
Martha is saying to Him, the sister of the one having deceased "Lord, already he stinking, for it is fourth-day
43 And these saying, to a great Voice He cries-out "Lazarus, hither out!"

Rev 11:11
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

I think that is a good assumption (pardon the pun). I would also expect that her body would have undergone decay during that time.
