If you are on a recent Windows version your easiest option is probably
to use WSL and use native compilation on Linux.  second easiest is
likely to set up a VM to run Linux in (that might actually be easier
than WSL if you already have some virtualisation environment set up for
something else, but you said you were on Windows).

No, Cygwin is a user-space layer on top of Windows that provides a POSIX
environment for applications that target Cygwin (i.e. Cygwin
applications are neither Windows nor Linux applications).

Just like you'd do on any other non-Linux system: set up a
cross-compilation toolchain and start compiling all dependencies until
you can finally compile whatever Linux application you wanted orginally.
