I'd say "near death," but you could use the gerund as the nominalized verb form: "He is near dying" or "He is close to dying."

yes it is incorrect because die is the event (action) of death.
you can say, another way you could say this expression in a similar way is, he is close to death or
he is close to dying.. or he nearly died.
I don't know if I am making any sense to you but maybe this link will help.

Yes, it's incorrect. If you think about it, it makes no sense grammatically. 'Near (to)' is a preposition, so it has to be followed by a noun or a gerund.
