It's impossible to specify a certain max. length. The longer the cable the more noise and interference the cable will pick up and
forward to the output. But if you use shielded cables a few meters should be possible. With unshielded cables at least 50 cm should
work.

Yes, and you may use it at the same time for the GND of the potentiometer. I.e. you need a shielded cable with only two wires +
shield.
