Yes, our reader/tag combination (Palomar and its derivatives)
has approximately such a range. But for a practical system you
need to use a freguency at which the radiation is in the
freely-propagating regime (far field). Ours operate at 868 MHz.
I don't think a practical-sized near-field reader
can ever reach such ranges.

Not only the reader affects the maximum range; you also need
a good optimized tag.

5)Is it possible to detect direction and distance of RFID tag from the
reader

Now you are groping into the area of trade secrets...
