Answer 1

In order to compile applications for Windows Mobile 5 you will need either:

• at least Visual Studio 2005 Standard or Visual Studio 2008 Professional (Microsoft has moved Windows Mobile support in the Professional Version).
  
  Note: You cannot use the Express versions of Visual Studio to create applications for Windows Mobile platform.
  

• CeGCC which can be crosscompiled from Linux.

Regarding Qt on Windows Mobile, you should read this Dr. Dobb's Article: Qt and Windows CE

I don't have a definative answer but I am not sure a cross compiler exists that does what you want to do.

Check this questions and answer regarding cross compiler for windows/linux: Building GCC cross compiler (from “Linux” to “Windows”)

I know you mention Qt but you also may want to check out the following posts regarding building for Windows Mobile from Linux using the Mono project.
