You'll need that much room to get in front of the car and pop the hood, slide the hood forward, and then lift up the back of the hood. Then you can check the oil. As long as there is oil to the minimum mark the car is safe to start. Frankly, as long as there is any oil on the dipstick it's probably ok.
I'd probably just put a battery charger on the battery for a couple days and see what happens rather than jump start it. If you HAVE to have the car, it's already too late...jumping the car with a dead battery may or may not work.
Hard to say if the oil change was the problem, you'll just have to look at it once it's running and out of the garage.
Next winter, don't just start it up every once in awhile. You're probably better off with a Battery Buddy (float type charger) that charges the battery to a given voltage and shuts off completely and won't start up again until voltage falls to a given level. Trickle chargers=bad for long term storage.
