Gravitational force = (G * m1 * m2) / (d2)
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects for which you are calculating the force, and d is the distance between the centers of gravity of the two masses.
Meaning once the difference of te distance becomes so great, gravity will no longer be existent and zero gravity occurs

It depends in what direction you think. If it is the outer force, no there is no limit, even whole piles of galaxies have an influence on each other over vast distances of empty space. But if you think to the inner side, there is a limit, the one you reach if the inner gravity is so enormous high, that the so called weak forces can't stand it and material starts to implode. This would be the process of "creating" a black hole. There the inner gravity is so incredibly high that our laws of physics don't take place in there, because the so called weak forces do not longer exist.
Therefore you could conclude: not even weak forces are a limit for gravity. However, these weak forces care about matter and change it into X-ray, gamma- and other emmission that we can and do discover everywhere in the universe ...
Gravity itself is (probably) nearly unlimited. We just don't know exactly because we don't know, don't understand what is happening inside black holes. At eleast these are the spots in the universe, where gravity is at its biggest.

It is supposed that gravitation has no limit of distance. Of course there is no possibilitie of experiments, just observation, but gravitational lenses effects, and stars movements in galaxies show that the range of gravitational forces is huge, and theory (Einstein's theory of gravitation) does not impose bounds.
However, things are not so easy, because our Universe is expanding, what means that another cause imposes over gravity at very large distances. Currently nobody knows for certain, but there is something that counteract gravity at cosmological distances.

Hey,Spider Man!!! Idon't think you are going out of space to protect the Aliens. So you don't have to know the answer of that Q.

It is virtually endless in that it permeates the whole universe.
