I can't find a couple of items I had hoped to find on my D5200. 1) I'd like to adjust (lengthen) the time my screen with info, menu etc. is illuminated, and 2) Unlike with my Canon PowerShot SX230, I've been unable to view playback images that contain all the shooting data/information relating to the image being viewed. The D5200 manual hasn't been helpful in solving my two questions. Or have I not been looking closely enough? Any help would be appreciated.

Try this. View the image. While doing so, press the up and/or down arrows.

Go to playback menu, playback display options, select what you would like to see.

Have you downloaded the full D5200 Manual, or are you looking at the condensed version which came with your camera?

The full manual offers much more detail: http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D5200RM_NT(11)01.pdf

I compared the manual from the Nikon website and the manual I received with my camera and they are exactly the same, page for page. Apparently I received the full manual with my camera.
