A. Yes it can be done, what you're talking about could very well be being done already:
http://ggzgamingzone.org
B. Windows binaries can't run under Linux without API simulation software, which is best not to use if you can avoid it. However, some games have been natively ported to Linux, here's a list:
http://icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
C. I'm not sure, however I think it depends on the way you design the software.
D. All distros can do that, although some can be better at it than others. It's an inanswerable question.

Counterstrike works great under wine, and NFSU works under WineX/Cedega - but most LAN Cafe favourites (UT, 2k3, 2k4, Quake 3 and all mods) work natively in linux.
As for servers, almost every net game has a linux server.
