A star moving away from the earth is still called a star, but the color of the light that we see will be "redder" than it actually is. This is called redshift, and a link can be found below for more information.
a star is moving AWAY FROM EARTH
Away, at around 18 km/s.
Yes. If the star is moving away from the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the red end of the spectrum. If it is moving towards the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the violet end of the spectrum. This is due to Doppler effect.
blue shifted
The star is moving away from us. Therefore, the Doppler effect must be considered. The Doppler effect is waves (in this case light) will be compressed in front of a moving object and stretched behind the object. This stretching creates a long wavelength. Red light has a long wavelength (the longest of visible light), so we call this stretching red shift.

They craped in the toilet and Looked up in the sky and said sh!t Sirius is moving away from earth.
A freaking telescope

they look at the sky and say hi to barney

I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.

There is no star that is just 3.2 million miles from the earth. The nearest star to the earth is the sun which is about 93 millions away.
