Answer 1

Qt Creator is just an IDE it does not necessarily come with a compiler, though it can be set up to use various compilers like the GCC or a cross compiler.

You can compile applications for windows on linux using a cross compiler. One such cross compiler is the Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) compiler in which case this link will should be useful to you. It would probably be safe to assume that most distro's have a packaged version which you can use. If they do use that instead, usually searching the package management system for 'mingw' is enough to find it.
