Unfortunately, RSSI is a poor measurement for distance, since it will vary depending on interference, reflections, fading, antenna pattern, line of sight etc. I am not surprised if it vary with 10-20dB.

For your questions regarding advertisment, device name and UUID I suggest you to refer the the ble_app_blinky central and peripheral example in nRF5 SDK. It show how to add UUID to the advertisment, and how to discover proprietary services after connection.

Best regards,
Kenneth
