does it come with ribbon and correcting ribbon

Yes it came with cassette ribbon model #1030 and correction tape model #3010. I don't use the correction tape because I type on carbon copy paper a lot. This information comes from the owner manual. The ribbon is enough to get started, but either I typed more than I thought or this was a starter kit. It wasn't hard to find a replacement ribbon at my local Staple store.

It does a wonderful job of correcting. You can do just one letter or the whole word. The correction tape really lasts. I am on my third ribbon and still haven't changed the tape and I do make mistakes!! This typewriter is great for the price. To correct you hit the backspace and then the correction key at the bottom near the space bar. To do a whole word you do the correction key at the top right with no backspace. I hope this helps.

Is this good for writing long documents, such as a novel?

The Brother SX-4000 is an amazing machine and I don't see any reason why long documents couldn't be typed on it. However, I have never attempted to type for long hours on end, so I am not really qualified to answer this question.

What type of font is included in the package, e.g. Times New Roman

On mine you cannot change the font, however, you can change the pitch, underline & bold your type. It is similar to the new times roman, and in fact it may be just that.
