If it's X-capable, which I believe the Cygwin emacs executable isn't.
And the Cygwin xemacs package uses Win32 instead of X.

Only via remote desktop (Google for rdesktop).

You may have to (or use rdesktop).

Unfortunately, no. When and if Sun open-sources its Java VM, it may or
may not be buildable on Cygwin. But until then, you won't have Java over
X from Windows.
