2. How easy it is to remotely interract with Linux client's desktop? i.e. If
client running server app (over Telnet) issues a command, would server be
able to launch client side visible apps such as browser.

Both having the server connect to the client and run a command there
or having the server start a (graphic) application on the server that
uses the display of the client would be possible. This would be
especially easy if the clients would mount the relevant filesystem
from the server. Of course, authentication information would need to
be set up properly to allow for this.
