A:
Generally speaking it should work if you aren't using OS specific actions. Miguel made a damn good job with Mono and you'll find it's very easy to work with.

A:
You have to be careful with what you write. Mono isn't near 100% supporting .NET on Windows, but it's a very good start. a TCP server might be tricky because it tends to be the places that do hardware interaction (like IO) that have the most compatibility issues.
Mono has a free tool called MoMA that can analyze a .NET Application and tell you if it is going to have problems. You can download it here: http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA

I would suggest developing the application under Linux/Mono, then checking that it works on Windows. You're less likely to encounter issues that way.
