Question TCAS

In light of the recent JAL vs. JAL near-miss; I have some questions. I am not an aviation professional- so please humor me.

How does TCAS work from a technical standpoint?

How far apart will it work?

Assuming no confusion or other factors, ATC weather, etc.- with a nose to nose cruising speed and angle- how much warning in seconds can a crew expect?

Thanks in advance to all you professionals?

Fly Safe.
