1 and 2 --- yes

3 is WHY

4 is
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/v...mepage-vs.aspx

but linux code normally is build on MS Windows using MinGW
and the same linux Auto tools
http://www.mingw.org/

mingw and VS can blth be installed
BUT YOU CAN NOT!!!! mix the headers and VS can not "see" Mingw
and Mingw can not "see" the VS development code

1 & 2, both since they play together, but it depends heavily on what you are planing to do.
you can start with QML dialogs and extend them with C++ after while when working throught the Qt examples

3 & 4, crosscompile mingw are your keywords, rather complicated and time consuming with Qt, so it's simpler nowadays to have a windows in a virtual machine

there is no either or. QML plays nicely together with C++ and vice versa in Qt.
QML is a part of Qt.
you camk make GUIs with QML, you can use java script in there, but also extend it with C++

start small, work through the tutorials on the homepage
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtexamplesandtutorials.html

start with the QML (Qt Quick) tutorial and examples.

It would be best to compile for Windows in Windows. The only compiler you have available if not MSVC is MinGW. See http://doc.qt.io/QtSupportedPlatforms/index.html

Never tried this; but you _could_ try to compile with wine (http://www.winehq.org); with this you should be able to create a windows executable; Of course, the proper libraries (qt) have to be installed in your wine environment as well.

Other than that, you can also create a virtual machine, install Qt (and the builder stuff) and compile your project there.

since wine is an implementation of the windows api for various operating systems (including windows and mac) it might actually be a nice approach...
