is this a base game, or an expansion? Can you play this by itself?

This is the base game and can be played by itself. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224517/brass-birmingham

How long does this game take to play (2 player)?

First time through expect close to two hours or more but if both players know the rules maybe an hour to hour and a half.

Does this game have a solo mode?

No, but there are unofficial variations that you can find that I have heard work quite well.
