I am confused as to when to use each of the three phrases from the title, especially the “einem Monat”
Would saying “in less than one month” be “Weniger als ein Monat noch“ ?
Thank you!

in less than one month
in weniger als einem Monat
That's dative. Why? Because the German preposition in requires the dative case when you describe a spot in time. That's all the magic.
