Why are these things so long? If they were 2" instead of
a foot long would it really matter that much? Is the airflow
really disturbed enough to make a difference?

Ans 1 - See Ans 3
Ans 2 - Yes
Ans 3 - Yes. It is a matter of the very small pressure change measured by
the TE versus the disturbed air.
