How does the near distance work on ArcGIS?
The near distance can be based on a line distance or several different travel modes using time or distance as the measure for nearest features. Both feature layers can be points, lines, or polygons when using straight-line distance. Travel mode options are only enabled if both feature layers are points.

How does select layer by location work in ArcMap?
Select Layer By Location allows you to change the set of selected features in ArcMap by finding features in one layer that are within a given distance of (or share one of several other spatial relationships with) features in another feature class or layer. Unlike the other vector tools, Select By Location does not create new features or attributes.
