Depending on the time of day the security line can be quite long - I would allow 90 minutes between the flights and you should make it comfortably. If it's booked together as a codeshare you'll be protected on a later flight in the event of any delays without issues.
Not quite correct. There is a passport check in the flight connections centre. No customs. But you do need to show your passport.
Also lots of good information in this thread:
