Sign 'store', then use the sign for 'far away'. Make sure to squint your eyes and tilt your head back to clearly convey the physical distance to the store.

No, this sign is strictly used for physical distance. If you want to talk about time, such as 'far in the past' or 'far in the future,' you would use specific time-related signs that move backward or forward relative to your body.
Yes, you should always use your dominant hand for the movement. Your non-dominant hand acts as the stationary base. If you are right-handed, your right hand will form the 'A' shape and move forward.
