What would be a reasonable metric unit to use to measure the length of a bacterium?

meters There is no special unit for the size of bacteria, so traditional systems of length are used. As most people who care about bacteria enough to measure them are scientists, and most scientists use metric (the better to understand each other), the metric system is used. Now, the basic unit of length in the metric system is a meter, but that is much to big to measure a bacterium with. Conveniently, metric units come with a series of prefixes to express multiples or fraction of a unit (you may know of centimeters, which are hundredths of a meter, and kilometers, which are a thousand meters) In general, bacteria will be measured in micrometers, which is to say millionths of a meter. In general, a bacterium will measure anywhere from one to ten nanometers.

Do astronomers and astrophysicists now predominantly use the metric system of measurement - when time itself is not divisible by ten - not metric?

Yes, the predominant units are all still metric, although cosmologists exploring the earliest instants after the big bang often use units of planck time instead, but this of course is still based on the metric system. +++ The only other two units of time relevant in Astronomy and Geology are the Year and the second, and the Years are counted as indivisible although the second may be divided into its milli- and smaller divisions for particular calculations.
