Like an hour or more...is it harming anything to just let the car run for a long time without moving?

Side note -- When cold, the car's tailpipe spews tons of really dirty fumes out. [sarcasm] A great way to annoy neighbors is to face the tailpipe, during cold idle, towards their open window...

Because I like to run the AC in the car when I take my 45 min power naps on my lunch breaks.
