Hi daniel. Thanks for joining us. Welcome to English Forums.
Example 2 is easy. This verb tense requires the past participle, "sent."
In Example 1, I'm inclined to accept both versions as casual conversation. I'm sure others will disagree.
In the old days the subjunctive would have been common, "I was wondering
if I were to send the original documents etc." These days, simple past is fine.
Note that you're using "originals" here as an adjective. In English, the adjective doesn't change number to agree with the noun. We say "the original documents."
You may also omit "documents," and use "originals" as a noun - "if I sent the originals, etc."
And the first version, using present tense, is fine to my ear.
The other thing is that you need to decide if these are questions or statements. People often use this form conversationally, introducing a question with "I was wondering."
More formally, the statement would be, "I was wondering, if I sent the original documents, how long it would take before I get them back." (The subject is "I")
OR "I am wondering, if I send the original documents, how long it will take before I get them back.
The question would be, "I'm wondering, if I
send / sent the original documents, how long
will / would it take before I get them back?" (The subject is "it.")
Be sure you note the difference in order: (question)
How long will /would it take? (statement)
I wonder how long it will /would take. (Your ex. #1 is in question order.)
