Default Camperdown Elm question

I moved into a new home back in 2004 and right in the front yard next to the house was this very beautiful tree. At the time I had no idea what it was, and recently I contacted a local nursery who said they thought it was a "Camperdown Elm". The man who owned the home before I bought it was a professional landscaper, and I just assumed that he would have known the proper spacing and placement of a tree. Well I have started to get a little nervous because this thing is starting to get pretty big and I am looking for some advise.

1. First of all can anybody identify if this tree is in fact a Camperdown elm?

2. Will it damage my homes foundation in its current location?

3. How big will it get?

4. how hard is it to move if I need to?

I hope these photos can help. I placed an aerosol can next to the trunk to give an idea of the caliper of the tree.
