You're going to need to use RG11 cable for that distance. It's thicker, stiffer, tougher to work with, and more expensive. You may even need to use an amplifier. YMMV.

Perhaps. For a $100.00 fee for the labor alone. YMMV.

Another option is pull ethernet cable (or fiber if you're really hardcore). Depending on the design of your house that could be harder or easier than moving where the cable comes in. Likely harder, but could be really easy if you live in an old balloon frame house with an unfinished basement. At any rate, just something to think about/look into.
