For that you can use andronix, it allows you to install a distro on a proot, I've been using it for a while it's quite nice

Yep, but not complex ones. Photoshop for instance will not work, same with the current version of Office 365. But older versions might work, eg Photoshop CS6, or Office 2015 etc. You can check https://appdb.winehq.org/ as a rough reference - bearing in mind that since you're running this on ARM + emulated x86, there's bound to be a lot more bugs.

Yes, you have to use a vnc client to connect to it as if you were connected to an external server.
