There's no limit to how far away you can see something, IF it's bright enough

in the wavelengths that your detectors can see, and there's nothing in the way

to block the view.

The farthest thing you can see with your eyes only, assuming you have

'normal' eyesight, is about 2.5 million light years away.

The farthest thing that can be seen with the best current (2012) technology

is about 14 billion light years away.

How far is the distance from the Earth to space?

There is no distance from the earth to space. The atmosphere gradually gets thinner as altitude increases. The furthest noticeable part of the atmosphere is "said" to be approx. 600mile from sea level. You will be close to the thinnest part of the atmosphere when you realize that you can't increase altitude anymore.
