The trench gets filled back up with dirt so that you would never know it was there.
Water flows into the pipe through small perforations around the diameter. Generally the pipe is pitched to flow water away from an area.
It remains in the ground forever.
Usually it is several feel below the surface so that water will have a chance to absorb into the ground before it is drained away. Basically it prevents the ground from staying super-saturated with water; it can't actually wick the moisture away. Yes the farmer might want the water back later in the season, but if it was too wet to get onto the field in the spring, moisture in the late summer isn't going to be much help.
Around here we have a lot more rocks and need a little more traction. The tile layers I have seen are Caterpillar D8's with a trencher on the back (that feeds the roll of tile). The fancier ones are guided by a laser level to control the depth of the pipe.
