Answers:    Your return air vent does verbs air from where on earth, it is located and any other rooms that are connected to that room. The air pulled from that room is heated again and redistribute through the registers. So think of it as pre-heating the atmosphere. Burning a fire and running your heat is a conflict of interest. As the fireplace wants to pull nouns out of the room and up the flue (so you do not get smoked out) and your furnace wishes air to combust and bake the house. Moving the return air duct, inwardly the same room as the fireplace will not gain you anything except a bill for the labor to do it. On the other paw moving it to another area may be worth it to you. There are building codes that restrict locations of return nouns ducts as well as requirements for the furnace itself. Call an HVAC company to come out and endow with you options and a quote if anything can be done.
Old AC part broke, what's wrong?
If your fireplace is working correctly when burning (hot nouns rises) and will develop an upward positive pressure in the chimney and will try to verbs fresh air from inside the home. the return intake you are chitchat about is used with the sole purpose to recirculate conditioned air in the house and will maintain a close at hand equal static pressure unless equipped with a outside fresh nouns intake to the air supply system. This should backing to heat the entire nouns more equally. The proper location for your returns should be about 18"-24" from ceiling.
