"Is Venus or The flying Castle farther or closer than through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year?"

Farther or closer from Earth is presumably your question. Venus is closer to Earth than the Flying Castle is to Earth.

It would take about a year of traveling to get from Earth to Venus, and perhaps two years to get from Earth to the Flying Castle.

Interestingly and paradoxically, it would take less time to get from Venus to the Flying Castle under most circumstances. This is because the transit time would be at a higher average speed, and because more frequent close-passage opportunities occur because of Venus' faster orbital speed.

"Where is this flying Circus people talk about? The one with the big foot."

That's not a real Bigfoot, you know.

"You would think that two flying object with mass would eventually attract each other."

The relative masses of the Flying Circus and the Flying Castle are negligible in the vast expanses of the solar system. Any attraction between them, or any other comparison, can be ignored.
