Yes, that's actually much easier than doing it the other way around. How long it takes depends totally on whether your hair was dyed brown in the first place, though.

Well, dying your hair is never really healthy, although it can sustain some color without being seriously damaged or anything like that. I guess the answer really depends on how often you've dyed your hair going into the ash blonde layer.

Yes, although you should talk to your stylist about potentially adding other layers or working in different sessions depending on the texture and color of your hair.

Question

My hair is fairly long, not very thick, medium/light brown dye color. Been over 6 months since I dyed it last. If I were to dye my hair dark ash blonde, would bleaching it once before be enough?

No, most likely not. Considering the length and darkness of your hair, you would most likely need multiple sessions to bleach your hair. Otherwise, you would likely fry it.
