A wild Mallard has sat on her eggs for 31 days and still is. What does that mean? Are the eggs still viable? How much longer until the ducklings will hatch and how long will she continue brooding?

Eggs take 25-29 days to hatch. Perhaps you miscounted?
Perhaps it is not quite time yet as she will know when the time is right. The nesting time starts when she has laid her last egg so it is possible the time is not up yet - give her more time.
This should be fine. She laid her first egg and sat on her net. Afterwards, she laid the remaining eggs. Normally it will take a few more days for the eggs to hatch.
