yes

yes, you'd have to allow remote access to the linux machine. If you're not
concerned with security (i.e. you're behind a firewall) you could add a line

host all all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 trust

The above line would trust all clients in your local network, assuming that
you use the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Check the comments in the pg_hba.conf
file for more secure solutions.

Not unless you want to use your application locally on that linux box.
