The injunction in the Torah (in Exodus), is to observe Passover for seven days. That's the way that most American Reform congregations do it. As with several other Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah immediately comes to mind), Orthodox practice is to add a "buffer" day, which means that Orthodox congregations observe Passover for eight days. Most Conservative congregations observe it for eight days, like the Orthodox.

Jews in Israel (meaning not in the Diaspora) generally do not add the extra day to such holidays as Passover. My understanding is that the extra day was added due to calendar uncertainties in the former days, and the slow speed at getting messages to communities in the Diaspora. That reasoning wouldn't have applied to Jews living in Israel.

I've never heard of time zones having any impact, other than determining when local sundown begins.

Pesach in Jerusalem in the old days was a holliday jews went to the temple when there was one 2000 years ago but the romans destroyed it as you can see also in the titus gate in rome when they conquered jerusalm.

When during Pesach we dont work? about first and last days?

Today (Tuesday) was the 15th. You should not have worked today as it was the first day. Last night would have been first Seder.
