                    Its just asking if a place is close or far basically.

                        What does the お achieve ? I can't really hear any difference. とい、vs とおい。it's not a long vowel like とうい、or a break like with きっぷ。

                          It expresses a long vowel like う would after an o sound (which one is used depends on the word).

                          Why is it とおい and not とうい ?

                          Would another translation "How far is it?" also be correct?

                            nope but u could make it into "how far is it" by adding 何 before far - 遠い 何遠いですか - How far is it
