Is the G silent in length?

So, the “g” is not actually pronounced as a “g,” but it is not a “silent” letter either. It is actually pronounced in words such as “anger” and “linger”—but the same sort of thing does not happen in “strength” and “length” because of the “th” sound that follows immediately after.

How do you pronounce fit and feet?

In ‘fit‘, we have /i/ but in feet and feat we have /i:/. This means that when we pronounce ‘fit‘, we don’t prolong the sound but do so when we pronounce the other two words. Your ability to indicate this reinforces your standard of articulation. When you pronounce feet, you shouldn’t say fit!
