The free throw line in Basketball is 15 feet away from the hoop. It is also 12 foot from end to end. Free throws allow the team to score points with no opposition during the throw.
In basketball, lane shooting is taking shots from inside the free throw lane. This is usually difficult because of the number of defenders.

The restriction of crossing over the foul lane was established in 1956. The NCAA established the rule that requires free throw shooters to keep both feet behind the free throw line during an attempt after reports surfaced that Wilt Chamberlain dunked his free throws.
The lane is between the lines of the paint (the lines where the players line up rebound a foul shot) all the way down the court.

If you're referring to the "lane" or the "paint" it is the rectangle formed from the free-throw line, and perpendicular lines that extend from the ends of the free throw line to the endline. The official rule is that an offensive player cannot have any part of his body inside this "lane" for more than three seconds, otherwise a three-second violation is called. Also, when an offensive player is shooting a free-throw, no players can enter the lane until the ball hits the rim (High School rules).
YES, unless.... The count on a player in the restricted area is suspended when that player begins to try for a goal (shot).
