I have an AMD64 with SuSE 10.1, and I can create FPC distributions for i386
and AMD64 on it without any additional setup, just by using the correct
compiler binary (ppc386 or ppcx64).
If you have only i386, then you can cross-compile for AMD64, but then you'll
need all libraries for an AMD64 system somewhere where the linker can find
them, plus a cross-compiler. There is a FAQ on how to create a cross compiler
(don't have the link handy now...)

Not at all.
If you're new to linux and Lazarus, these are absolutely normal questions.
