Yes if the vent pipe is 4" and vertical by code and there is nothing connected between your toilet tee and where you would connect your new toilet tee. If not worried about codes then yes you can connect to a 3" vent line if no other vent lines are connected down stream. If you have a vent pipe that is less then 3" and or you have other vents connected between your old toilet tee and your new toilet tee then NO you can not connect a new tee for your toilet.

How close does the vent need to be to the toilet drain to be effective?

As close as possible is best, but there just has to be a vent so that the air that is in the line has somewhere to go so that the liquid isn't trying to compress it. The closer the vent is to the toilet, the better it will flush.
