Not a automatic ejection, however if the officials see it as flagrant then they can or will eject the player

Is the ejection for the entire next game? Or a half?

AAA rules say if ejected from the game, you are out the rest of the game and 4 quarters of the next  comparable game.  So look at it like this you get ejected on Friday night SR varsity game and Monday you have a Sr b game you can't set out on Monday and play the following Friday.

Isn't the rule once ehected you have to sit out 4 consecutive quarters? So if a player gets ejected in the second quarter in game 3 he can come back in 3rd quarter of game 4.

No (see below)
I am posting the rule that is on the AAA website.  This is not behind a fire wall so it can be viewed by the public

EJECTION PENALTY AND REVIEW
Ejection Penalty
Participant is prohibited from participation (ineligible) from the point of ejection plus;
Football – next four consecutive full quarters of comparable events.

All other sports – next comparable event.
Second offense in same season
Football – next eight consecutive full quarters of comparable events.
All other sports – next two comparable events.
Third offense in same season
Prohibited from participation for the remainder of same sport season and school placed on probation or
warning. If there are fewer than 3 comparable games remaining in the season, the prohibition of
participation carries over to the next same sport season to total at least 3 games. 
Comparable Event is defined as an event that has already been scheduled and is at the same level of
competition (Varsity, JV, Girls, Boys). Comparable events may be events for the following same sport
season. 
Ejection Appeal 
An appeal of ejection must be filed through the school's authorized representative in writing on the
ejection appeal form to the Executive Director. The Executive Director or designee will review the video
on the next business day after the appeal is filed.  A ruling on the appeal will be made within three
business days of the filing.  The ruling of the Executive Director or designee is final and may not be
appealed to the Board of Directors. All periods of ineligibility (suspensions) remain in effect until such
time that a ruling is rendered by the Executive Director or designee in writing. The school's authorized
representative must also provide video or access to the video specific to the ejection. Video from
outside sources may be utilized but must be submitted through the school's authorized representative.
Submitted video should include only clips specific to the ejection. Full game films submitted will not be
reviewed.
Video Review
• Only video involving an ejection may be reviewed.
• Reviewable ejections are limited to physical actions. 
• Video review may be used to properly identify and eject the participant in a situation where it is
possible that misidentification occurred.
• Video review may be used to properly identify participants in situations involving multiple
participants involved in a fight, confrontation or ejection where circumstances prevent accurate
reporting of the individuals involved. This could include identifying and ejecting individuals not
previously identified or reported, including contest participants, non‐participants, or coaches who
enter the playing area during the incident.
• Video review may be used to assess the level of involvement in an incident.
• Video review must provide indisputable evidence to overturn the ejection.
Note 1: Ejected student‐athletes may attend but may not participate in the next comparable event while
serving the ejection penalty.
Note 2: Ejected Coaches may not be present at the next comparable event venue or perform any
coaching duties during the comparable event while serving the ejection penalty
