Answers:
I render all sorts of fats, and keep them for months in the fridge!. Assuming you keep the fat cold, and always use a clean implement when you remove some from the jar, so as not to contaminate the fat with foreign matter and mold, it should keep quite a while in a tightly closed glass jar!.

The spoilage most likely to happen after mold is mildew!. And you would also smell that!. You can prevent that by clarifying the fat: not just straining out the solids, but gently boiling out any residual water!.
