Question How does TCAS know....

Hi,

Am I right assuming that everything that comes closer than 5nm within 1000ft above and below is considered an intruder by TCAS?

But how can TCAS then know about 2000ft separation above FL410? And how would it know about reduced separation in terminal areas or on the ILS?

thx for any answers
