rangga: Welcome. I'll move this over to the server-side scripting forum where it is more at home

To answer your question(s):

1. Yes you can run MySQL on a Windows box (see the FAQ on installing AMP).

2. Yes you can connect to a remote version of MySQL (there was a service a while back which offered to host a MySQL DB for free).

I'm not sure its overly wise working like this but if you had to do it then it is doable.
