So how do I flank with ranged? I must be 10 feet from my target to succed or when do I actually flank with ranged? :)

Threatening Shot (Ex)
Beginning at 16th level, the halfling sling master is so deadly with her sling that she may flank targets. She threatens an area at 10 ft. away, but not adjacent.
Precision (Ex)
Beginning at 4th level, a halfling sling master adds the indicated damage bonus to any shot she makes against a foe that is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target already has a Dexterity bonus or not). This extra damage is 1d6 at 5th level. It applies only when the halfling sling master uses a sling while within 30 ft. of the target.
The extra damage increases by 1d6 every five halfling sling master levels thereafter.
At 16th level, when the halfling sling master gains the ability to flank with the sling, this damage also applies to shots against flanked targets.
The halfling sling master must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot, and she must be able to reach such a spot. A halfling sling master cannot use precision while striking a creature with concealment.

Your character qualifies for flanking when you position him in a way that is flanking its opponent.
Normally, to flank you need a melee weapon, and must be threatening an opponent who is adjacent to you, while your ally has the opposite side.In this circumstance you are consider flanking the opponent if you are 10' away and presumably you have an ally on the opposite side of the enemy.
Below, the X's are 5 foot squares,
The H is the halfling, The E is the enemy, and the A is your ally.

Would it be worth it to take snap shot? Or should I simply go with clustered shot first? :)

Well Snapshot would not provide a flanking bonus to the halfling slinger. It would provide your ally with a flanking bonus.
Of course, Being 5 feet away from an enemy is an odd thing to do as a range attacker. But Having the ability to threaten wizards is nice.Clustershot is nice to get passed DR. And that is about it.
It is important to note, that because of the way that it is phrased, i am unsure if cluster shot would apply all the individual precision damage.
There is no reason why clustered shots would not apply all precision damage.
