Question

Answer 1

The Bluetooth signal strength distance relation depends on the devices (built-in Bluetooth device, antenna, actual orientation of device), current way the persons hold their devices, objects in-between... You could measure this for a pair of devices for a given situation and use these information.

A larger and more general solution would incorporate an external Bluetooth network. Bluetooth triangulation is the basic concept, that will help. The link will give an insight on certainties that are achievable with such a setup. Take is as an upper limit, a device to device approach will be worse.
