Yes, Penn Station is close to Grand Central Station. They are less than a mile apart.
But, if you are asking because you are planning on walking or taking a bus or taxi from one to the other...don't. You can just take the subway: take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to Times Square. Then transfer at Times Square to the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central (East 42nd).
You can also take the Uptown A-C-E from Penn Station to Times Square, but this will require you to walk through a long, hot, smelly underground tunnel. Since the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue, while the A-C-E line runs up and down 8th Avenue, the A-C-E does not stop at Times Square. It stops at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. The underground tunnel connects the Times Square Station to the A-C-E line, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.
So, it is preferable to take the 1-2-3 from Penn Station to Times Square, so you won't have to walk through the tunnel. But if you can't find the 1-2-3 or something (or if the A-C-E just happens to be right there when you get off your train) you CAN take it to Times Square.
No, but you can take the subway. If you're going from Grand Central to Penn Station, then you take the S shuttle train(color code grey) west across 42nd Street, from Grand Central (East 42nd) to Times Square (West 42nd). Then transfer at Times Square to the Downtown 1-2-3 (the red line), one stop to 34th Street-Penn Station.
You could also take the Downtown A-C-E (the blue line) from 42nd Street to 34th Street-Penn Station, but this will require you to walk through a tunnel first. Since the A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station (and the 1-2-3 line) are at 7th Avenue, the A-C-E does not actually stop at Times Square. It stops at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. But there is a tunnel connecting the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.
It makes more sense to take the 1-2-3, to save yourself the walk through the tunnel.
If you're going from Penn Station to Grand Central, then you do the reverse: take the Uptown 1-2-3 (or A-C-E) one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square. Then take the S shuttle train east across 42nd Street to Grand Central.
There is no single train to take.
From Grand Central take the 42nd St Shuttle "S" to to Times Square and switch to a downtown 1 , 2 , 3 train for one stop (34th St-Penn Station).

No, the AirTrain takes you to and from the subway, and the subway takes you to and from Penn Station. Take the AirTrain to the Howard Beach Station, and get the Manhattan-bound A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) to 34th Street-Penn Station.
