It would be around 45min by taxi. You can also take airport shuttle bus to railway station/Jinjiang Hotel. Considering the waiting time of shuttle bus, it would be better to prepare at least 1 hour for that.

I think the train go through Dali, but it will not stop there. I did not see "Dali" in stopover list of any train from Lijiang to Kunming. If you want to go to Dali, there are direct rides to there.
