This instrument says the debt is paid.

Fla. Stat. § 713.21(2) discharges the lien on satisfaction of the debt. Signing it while money is still owed puts a false statement on the public record and gives away the security you filed to protect. If you have been paid part of it, this is not the document you want — talk to a construction attorney about what is.

The debt secured by this lien has been paid in full.

Where this gets filed: Clerk of the Circuit Court. The clerk of the circuit court of the county where the claim of lien was recorded.

None. § 713.21 imposes no deadline on a paid lienor and no penalty. The owner's remedy is the § 713.21(4) show-cause complaint. Any argument that the mortgage penalty in § 701.04 applies by analogy is unsettled, not law.
