No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.

The answer simply depends on the environment that the electron is in. If the electron is in orbit around the nucleus of an atom then there will be a strong electromagnetic force acting on the electron towards the nucleus.
Because if the radius is big, then the large distance affects the strenght of the electron with the nucleus. This also increases reactivity in non metals since it will be easier to take away the electron :)

It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.

The path of a given electron's orbit around a nucleus, marked by a constant distance from the nucleus.
The electron shell is an energy level represented as the distance of an electron from the nucleus of the atom
