Are these sentences OK? He became distant with me. He started acting distant toward me. He started to be distant toward me.

Yes! You could also say: He started being distant with/toward(s) me. 'Start' can be followed by a 'to' verb or an 'ing' verb. For me, the 'ing' version sounds more native here.

They are all fine. Toward is more US English

Only thing I'd change is instead of "toward me" it will be "towards me."
