People often train abs 2-3 times per week and it's enough. Especially if you train them properly (15-30 minutes), with good intensity. Remember, abs also act as a stabilizer for other exercises like: deadlift, squat... Therefore, it would be recommended to not fatigue them before doing one of these movements.

It depends what your goals are, but if you want to build strong abdominal muscles you will have to aim for 12-25 reps (weighted if needed). This range can change, depending the exercise you're doing and how your body react to it. But the main goal is to perform all the movements in a slow and controlled manner.
If you are not feeling pain around the 10th rep, you probably need to add more weight, or you're doing it wrong.

Training abs it's not like working out your chest. Here, the rest period must be inferior to 1 minute. Allow yourself 30-45 seconds of rest time between your sets. But there is no golden rule on that.
