How far away can this detect beta and gamma radiation?

The Geiger counter can detect radiation that reaches its sensor. Depending upon the energy level of the beta radiation, it can travel a few inches to a few feet in open air. Gamma radiation on the other hand can travel very long distances and penetrate many materials.

On the 6th image I see a lage kit, is it all included?

No. The only thing you are purchasing is the GCA-03W Digital Geiger counter. The image you pointed out illustrates a partial product line of the nuclear related products available from Images SI Inc.

does it detect alpha?

No. The GM Tube in the GCA-03W can not detect alpha radiation. The GM tube is sensitive to beta, x-ray and gamma radiation.

How easy is this to use? What would be the best product for both backround and item detection?

All our digital Geiger counters are easy to use. They ARE NOT menu driven devices with membrane switches that are prone to errors. Our digital Geiger counters use physical switches to control all functions. To choose the best product for your application, you would need to know if the item(s) you need to check emit alpha radiation. The GCA-03 series does not detect alpha radiation. So if you were checking a piece of uranium or radioactive ore, the uptick in radiation would be small, because the Geiger counter is insensitive to alpha radiation. The GCA-03 series does detect and measure background radiation. If you want a Digital Geiger counter that is sensitive to alpha radiation I would suggest the GCA-06W or the GCA-07W.
