I have been doing a lot of girls' games in grades 5-8 and they feature a lot (a LOT) of jump ball situations, where two players get a hold of the ball and tie it up. How long do you wait on that, is it different for different levels, is this something that happens more at lower levels or are my partners and I just too quick to whistle or too slow to let it play out?

At the level you mentioned, a lot of held balls will happen. Personally, I prefer to catch a foul accross the arm or push from behind when the defender goes to tie up the ball if the offensive player has clear posession. Running down the court, jump ball, run the other way, jump ball, repeat, is not a game. On the other hand, if you call a few fouls, there is likely to be a lot less held ball situations. Just my input...
