Answer 1

You can run GUI-Applications of remote linux host in a windows client via ssh (putty) with x-forwarding and an installed x-server (xming)

Answer 2

If it's a linux GUI application, you should "export display" to view the server screen on your workstation.

Depending of your workstation linux distribution, it might be as easy as :

xhost +<IP_address_of_workstation>
./runMyApp.sh

As your workstation is running windows operating system, you have do further configuration : https://superuser.com/questions/325630/how-can-i-export-display-from-a-linux-terminal-to-a-windows-pc

If your workstation is connected through SSH you need even more configuration as discussed here : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely
