From what I know Lee was writing the book while she was helping Capote on In Cold Blood. He helped her get an agent and she published it after helping him with his research for In Cold Blood. I believe the book was in work about 2-3 years.
Lee has never really said why she hasn't written anything else. I think it is partially that she wasn't too fond of the attention and when you write something like this your first time out there is no way to top it so your next book will be a let down for many even if it is great.
Then again, maybe she just didn't have another story to tell. It is hard to say.
