Can I custom set the size of the circle (as in a 5 mile or 2 mile circle)?  If 
so, will I also be able to capture the distance variable and use it on my 
website?

...presents a problem. You can't use Google's mapping services without
showing the results on a map.

If all you're doing is providing "x miles away" information, then you
might be able to do much the same thing by using a map and drawing a
circle around your user's location (which they know, of course: no
privacy issues with that marker).
