I think that you need to fill air immediately cause when you take out the nail and then insert the tool 1 and then remove it, there will be a hole in the tyre and all the air will escape
Exactly. A lot of air will escape when you pull out the nail, and if you have more than one punctures in the same tyre, almost all the air will be gone by the time you seal the hole (talking from experience here).

AFAIK, the repair will last for the lifetime of the tyre in most cases. Don't know about the OP, but I had two punctures in my FZ's rear tyres about 3 months back (2 huge nails struck in the tyre), its got no leakage so far - its as good as it was before the puncture.
