Yes.

For more infomation, google "gcc crosscompile win32".

The first hit is Building a Cross compiler for Windows on Linux

Yes it is possible, C++ was designed to compile the same code on multiple platforms, however take notice: if you have windows specific system calls/commands in your program they won't work on Linux and vice-versa.

Yes, sure it is possible. You have to use a cross-compiler toolchain. You can find a good gcc cross toolchain both for 32 and 64 bit targets at the following address http://www.drangon.org/mingw/
