There's a SessionNotOnOrAfter attribute in the authn statement that the SP modifies the default session lifetime with if it's shorter than it would be.

That I don't know offhand. The authn duration in the IdP isn't it, that's the IdP end only. My guess is it's in the SAML 2 SSO profile handler settings.
