Let's say you visit my website johndoe.com you read one or two articles and then you type directly in your browser's address bar "www.google.fr" thus exiting my website. Conversely you were on stackexhange.com and then you typed johndoe.com, thus arriving on my website. Is it possible for me to know this? Using Google Analytics or other tracking software?

Definitely No.

In both cases, the answer is no. This is for security reasons.

When you type a URL in the browser bar even the referer variable is not even passed to the server. The referer variable is only passed when you click a link that takes you to the page referred to.
