Does this have an expiration date?

It’s SALT, it doesn’t require an expiration date. Then again I’ve seen glass bottles of water with expiration dates, so go figure.

difference between meat cure and pickling salt

Pickling salt is CaCl, Calcium Chloride. Meat curing salts are Sodium nitrates and nitrites. NOT salt as we know it; or NaCl.

what percentage of nitrates and nitrites does it contain?

It's on the side of the package in one of the pictures. .5% of each.

how long do you leave the cure on the meat?

It takes about 12-24 hours for the cure to permeate an inch of meat. Turkey, for example, is 48 hours. Ribs are just a few hours (4-8).
