if you are fitting a maserator unit like Saniflo you can go horizontally up to 100 meters or vertically up to 4 meters but you must have a 1 in 200 gravity fall on the horizontal
there is no certain distance it can be from the main. it all depends on the fall and how deep your sewer is, however it does matter how many bends your line has. It shouldn't exceed 135 degrees or 100' without a cleanout.

What would cause the sink to 'cough' when the washer is running?
IF your toilet sink and washer are on the same waste line, which they probably are, the problem is't a short trap. Actually since your washer, toilet and sink have different traps it shoudn't effect anything. The problem probably comes from the washer being what is called a "sudds producing fixture". The sudds produced by your washer can actually go up either your toilet or sink waste line. By code the waste for your washer should be tied in to the sewer main 6' from where your waste line goes up for your bathroom. The only solution is to redo the piping from the sewer main and move your waste line for the washer. it won't harm anything. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get suds out of the drain in the sink
