    Welcome to the forum!

    1. Normally you would design your part in a Cad/cam package, then load the gcode from the cam package to the machine package, so mach3 (windows) LinuxCNC (linux).

    2. In this instance the gcode would be your machine code, as that is what your machine control software (machine package) reads/proccess (mach3 or LinuxCNC).

    3. He has the choice really, see above.

    4. I would go with a windows supported cad/cam package then, again mach3 may be the better choice on the host machine as well.
