Hi Himanshu,
VaibhaV has already answered one part of your question. I will take the
second part.
To run a graphical (X based) program and to see it's output on a windows
machine, you need to have an X server on your windows machine. There are
several commercially available X servers, you can find one that fits your
bill. Not aware of any free version.
