cooling system remain pressurized for how long?

The pressure in the system is almost directly related to the temperature, at least unless something (or someone) opens a cap and relieves it.
I would start by touching one of the rubber coolant hoses. If that's cool, try touching a metal housing. If that's not hot, the coolant is safely cool enough to open the cap. Still I use a couple of rags over the cap when I loosen it to be absolutely safe.

Does it suck air in slightly?
Are you concerned something is pressurizing it beyond the simple principles of the coolant system?

No, the next day when it was cold, it still had a ton of pressure. But today it was okay after it cooled. Both times it was full of coolant before I started it, maybe it just had some air in the system before. Today it did sound something like sucking a small amount of air in, or letting a little out, when I opened the cap, and the radiator hose was not stiff (pressurized) like it was last time.
