And as for how far we can measure asteriods and detect when they will hit us its really a matter of discovering it. Once we have the data of its movement which is easily recorded by a amateur we can predict its orbit fairly easily, so potentially we could have 100s of years warning. Or if it's a extra solar object that hits us from the direct of the sun it could be as little as 24 hrs.
Oh yeah btw ever see the movie deep impact? Yeah that's pretty much how we would discover it.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
