How fast does this go through batteries?

The Retroflag GPi Case supports using USB and 3 x AA battery, it depends on how much time you spend on the GPI CASE, if you are worring about battery, you can use USB cable to provide power.

How does the screen connect to the raspberry pi? Thank you.

It connects via GPIO. There is also a small ribbon cable that comes from the case PCB to the usb power connector on the Pi

Is the software meant to be presintalled onto the sd card as mine didn't i had to install the os myself and the instructions worded for preinstalled?

As it is a case only with no Pi included in the purchase then it wouldn't be capable of having the OS pre-installed. The instructions probably refer to preinstalling the OS before you pop the Pi in the case.
