How long do we have to plan for?

From three days to three months. It is entirely up to you!

Is it possible to do it not as a backpackers, with trains?

Certainly! Trains are used by people from all income groups and travel budgets in Japan. But a rental car is often the most convenient means of transportation in Hokkaido and rural regions:

Is it possible to see real traditional life of Ainu or just in museums or restored houses?

Just museums. Ainu people lead a modern life like everybody else.
