How many meters is the north star from the big dipper?
The Big Dipper stars and the north star are light years away from each other. it just LOOKS like they are near each other. In several hundred centuries, the Big Dipper won't even look the same because the stars in it are expanding away from each other at different relative rates.
The constellation in which the Pointer Stars are located?
The question is vague. There are many stars called "pointer" stars. For example, two of the stars in Ursa Major lie along a line that passes very near Polaris. A completely different set of stars in Ursa Major form an arc that passes near Regulus. There are plenty of other such astronomical coincidences.
