Answer 1

if you use dot net there is a MONO library that enables running some dot net application on linux. but it not fully compatible. Otherwise you can do it, (maybe using silverlite you would...)

Mono Project

Answer 2

As far as I know, there is no software that allows Visual Studio to generate non-Windows executables.

If it's a native executable (not .NET) you can try running it under WINE and see if that works. If it doesn't I'd guess the options are either to make it work with WINE or see if you can build it as a native Linux application. The latter will be rather painful if it's a GUI application, obviously, and I'd question if it is worth it. Porting a command line app might be doable but don't underestimate the work involved.
