Is there a way I can automatically turn off a burn after a pre-set countdown?
For example, I have a 2 hour burn to do, so I want to start the burn, then leave it to do it's thing and automatically throttle down after the 2 hours without me needed to be at my computer.
Alternatively, I would like the throttle to automatically switch off when the maneuver gets to it's "green tick" zone.

In version 1.2.2, this can be configured in the settings
Move the slider to the left to turn the default throttle to 0%, turn it to the right to make it 100%
If I understand correctly, you set the chute to deploy at a pressure of 0.5 atm. The maximum (sea level) pressure on Duna is 0.2 atm, so your chutes will never reach the 0.5 needed to deploy.

I use MechJeb for this extensively. Once I was able to "master" the launching and orbit, and it started to become tedious, MechJeb did an extremely efficient job of getting into orbit and performing orbital transfers.
One thing of note, if you're playing on Career mode, the MechJeb parts that allow this functionality need to be unlocked via the science tree. (If you would otherwise feel guilt about using a mod for this, having to earn it may alleviate said guilt.) :)
