What happens if a spider bite doesn't go away?

It really depends on what spider bit you. If it is a poisonous spider, get it checked out immedietly, however if it is just a normal spider that has bit you, but the bite hasn't gone away after a week or so, I recommend getting it checked out by a doctor just to make sure it hasn't got infected because that could be more serious that the bite itself but can be cured with a simple injection or cream.

How far are you from spider at any given time?

Spiders usually have eight eyes (some have six or fewer), but few have good eyesight. They rely instead on touch, vibration and taste stimuli to navigate and find their prey. Most are able to detect little more than light-dark intensity changes which stimulate nocturnal web building, hunting or wandering activities and rapid movement to allow quick reactions against daytime predators (e.g. by dropping from webs). Some spiders have median eyes that can detect polarised light and they use this ability to navigate while hunting. From http://australianmuseum.net.au/How-spiders-see-the-world

The venom has a neurotoxin component that attacks the human nervous system and, in the worst cases, can result in death however there have been no recorded fatalities since the introduction of anti-venom.

How do you kill funnel webs?

See http://australianmuseum.net.au/Funnel-web-Spiders-group.
In particular, "The spider (hunting mostly at night) sits just inside the entrance with its front legs on the trip-lines. When a beetle, cockroach, or small skink, typical items of funnel web food, walks across the lines, the spider senses the vibrations and races out to grab its meal. The prey is quickly subdued by an injection of venom from the spider's large fangs. Funnel-web spiders may also forage on the surface in the vicinity of the burrow."
