Answer 1

You could use ssh x forwarding to run a remote emacs and display it on the local computer.
I use Xming X Server when I'm on Windows

You could mount the remote filesystem with ssh and open the locally as normally.
For this I use ExpanDrive (commercial app) when on Windows

You could use emacs Ange ftp over ssh it can open remote files over ftp and ssh.
I use this with cygwin when on Windows
