You can format the DateTime to show only the Time part. See here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_outputText.htm
My suggestion for the timer animation of the page is smth like this: http://jchavannes.com/jquery-timer/demo

When I looked into doing something similar I ended up using a JavaScript utility with the intention of executing an actionfunction once the timer expired. It didn't really work that well though, mainly as my users were navigating to different pages, which meant I had to try to calculate the amount of time left to restart the timer, and in the event of a slow internet connection they lost out on quite a bit of time.
There are plenty of javascript countdown timers around - for example:
