How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
What happen when gravitional attraction between the sun and planets the distance increases?
When the distance increases the force is less. For example twice the distance gives one quarter the force, which is called an inverse-square force.
Planets' distances from the Sun do vary a little, and as they move away their speed decreases, so they start to fall back in a little, which makes them speed up, and so it goes on ad infinitum. The Earth's distance changes by 2.4 million kilometres above and below the average of 149.6 million km (closest in January, furthest away in July).
