A:
Database is not directly related to the interface you use to access it. With this in mind, then your answer is "yes".

Yes you can always use the same database for windows and web applications. As database is totally a separate from you application.

If both applications use the same data, you must not create separate database for each application.

@irienaoki0407 You may host your database on a server and connect to it remotely. You'll find different solutions for this, with different prices and service level agreements (don't expect great things from the majority of the free services). If you want to deploy a business solution, then you must host your database on a good host. You can find many using Google.
