Why gauge increase with thickness decrease?
The concept of the gauge originated with pistols, and later shotguns. The gauge described the size of the barrel by the fraction of a pound of a round iron ball that just fits the barrel. For example, a 12 guage shotgun has a barrel that will just fit a round iron ball that is one twelfth of a pound. This measurement stemmed from cannon measurements, which measured the cannon by the size of the cannon ball it fired (such as a 6 pound cannon, or 20 pound cannon). There are different gauges that describe thickness, including the American Wire Gauge that measures the thickness (diameter) of electrical wire, US Steel Wire Gauge for steel wire, Sheet Metal Gauge, etc.
What was the longest range of a US Civil War cannon?
The longest range cannon fired several miles. The great majority of cannon were 10 and 20 pound muzzle loaders called Parrot Rifles with a typical range of about 2 miles (3,000 - 3,500 yards) firing solid shot. Most cannon battles arranged the guns about one mile from the enemy to place them out of rifle range but within a range that spotters could see and correct the range. Some cannon were loaded with "canister" which acted as a giant shotgun. These had much less range (just a few hundred yards) but were greatly feared because of the horrifying damage done to their targets. High velocity, long range, breach loading, rifled cannon were just being introduced late in the Civil War. Ranges of 3 or more miles were possible. Naval 100 pound Parrot Rifles could fire as far as 7,500 yards, or about 4-1/2 miles.

What was the major improvement in the range of US Civil War artillery compared to that of Napoleon era cannon?
Taking into consideration only the field artillery, the longest cannon range of the Napoleonic era was of 1,800 meters, reached by a 12 pound smoothbore gun (caliber 121 millimeters) firing with its maximum elevation. When the Civil War broke out, the Union had at disposal the 3 inches gun and the Parrot's 10 pound gun, both rifled, whose ranges went beyond 4 kilometers. But the maximum range was that of over 10 kilometers, reached by Parrot's rifled siege cannons of 100, 200 and 300 pounds.
