Your first and last questions need to be asked on your distro's support forum.  Those are not Wine questions and this is not a general Linux support forum.

For an answer to your second question, read the FAQ.

To answer your third question, if the app does not need to be installed in Windows to run, you can just run the exe in Wine.
