1: yes, but you would have to install Qt version of the server on your Linux PC. That includes handling dependencies and compilation. So far, I don't know anyone except me who has done it . Recently, I had one user trying, but I don't know how it went (see issue at github). Which may relate to the lack of install instructions, though. After the download, you'll have to rsync data to the phone.

2. Yes, it does work "the same". There is some slow down, but that would depend on your hardware, I presume. I am using it on SD Card and it works very well.

As for downloading larger regions, you could just position the phone on charger and use WIFI, if needed
