Why could a place nearer the epicenter experience more violent shaking the earth that a place farther away from it?
This is the point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocentre of the earthquake. As such the seismic waves have traveled a minimum distance and so there has been a minimum dissipation of energy. This means they have retained the majority of their energy and so are able to cause the most damage.

Where would damage be greater - closer to the epicenter or farther away?
No because the epicenter is right on top of the center of the quake.

How can energy released at an earthquake's focus deep inside Earth can cause damage on the surface many kilometers from the epicenter?
The energy of the seismic waves that reach the surface is greatest at the epicenter. The most violent shaking during an earthquake however may occur kilometers away from the epicenter. The types of rock and soil around the epicenter determine where and how much the ground shakes.
How will two seismograms one close by the epicenter and one further away be different?
The seismograph taken at the epicenter will experience more rapid shaking because it is on the epicenter. The seismograph take further away from the epicenter will experience less violent shaking.
