1"-1 1/2" should be fine for a single layer of MDF.

yea 1 1/2 inch drywall screws should be fine, be sure you predrill holes and if you can countersink the screw heads for a nice clean finish

if you got a brad nailer use that. all the screws do is hold the wood in place while the glue dries. if you use a good wood glue and make sure you use enough, you won't even need screws
