No. We have 1 min power frequency withstand voltage and impulse withstand voltage. Impulse withstand is for a voltage pulse with specified rise and fall times.
Power frequency over voltage withstand whether it is for a minute or lower, should not cross the specified value.
So, I suppose even if it is for a second or half-a-second, the max power frequency voltage shall not exceed the specified voltage magnitude for 1-min withstand.

Yes.There is formula for converting time versus peak of voltage for different insulation systems of products. eg; For oil filled transformers if one minute value is 1.0, for 30 minutes it is 0.85, one hour 0.82, and for 1.2/50 microsecond 2.65 etc.

Some researchers published data for the relationship for more than 1 minute as can see in the enclosed link. . However, I do concur with RRaghunath that for insulators there is no known formula for less than 1 minute as prescribed by the standard for testing insulators at low frequency.
There is no known accepted procedure to certify the withstand rating of any insulator for less than 1 min at the power frequency values. Even if there is a possible correlation between the time-voltage applied, there is a long tradition (more than 100 years) using this norm for testing insulators at 1 min duration. There is not much motivation for research to find a reduced time test alternative.
[sub]NOTE: It should be noted that although the standard recommends for insulator 1-minute low-frequency test (wet & dry) for many components and apparatus, the objectives are quite different. For instance, a flashover for insulator in transmission line and substation are considered self-restored from an insulation coordination perspective, this is not the case for transformers.[/sub]
