It's "xhost +". There's a space between xhost and the +. This allows
all clients to connect to your X server. That command will allow any
client connections to your server. You really shouldn't do that but
when trying to get anything to show up on your X server. For further
details see "man xhost".

If you're using ssh on that system then restarting sshd on that
system will have no effect. The sshd demon accepts connections to
your machine and has nothing to do with outgoing connections.
That's why you can restart sshd and it didn't affect your outgoing
ssh connection.
You might also need to do an "xhost +" to allow your X server to
accept connections before your try to open up any X programs.

I think you're confused at what you want. You don't want X
running on
that computer, you want the programs to display on your X server
running
on your machine. Try connecting like this:
ssh -X -Y -C myhost.com
That opens up X tunneling, sets the forward file, and does a little
compression for you too.
Some SSH servers aren't set up to support X tunneling by default, you
may need to enable it in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
