How much time does the ink last until I am forced to spend 5 more dollars on more ink?

With a question raised like that, I don't think you'll be buying one. However, I have one I bought at Johnson Space Flight Center in 80's. I've refilled it 6 times. Think it was almost $10, I had to wonder around the store thinking about it before I shelled out that much cash. Worth every penny.

Is it retractable? Is that deformity at the top for putting pressure on in order to release rhe tip of the pen, dispelling the ink?

It is retractable. And no it does not dispell the ink with pressure. It acts just like a ball point pen, but built like a tank.

Taking into consideration the very special ink that this pen uses, would this be a good choice for a lefty? It seems that this ink may smear easier

I am a lefty and I am on my 3rd one of these. It like most other pens can smear, but I would consider it within or a little better than lefty normal level of smearing.

Can the seller engrave this item?

I took mine and a gift one to a local jeweler/watch repair shop and they engraved names for $10 on ea one.
