a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
