No, there are several.
Yes.
You need to install an Xserver on your Windows box.
Best product around is Xwin32: http://www.starnet.com/products/

Not directly; when you run startx it will run an X server on the

One thing to note is that you don't *need" moused, even if you are
using X. moused just gives you a mouse when you are in a text console
(note, *not* a console in X, but rather a plain ol' console). So if
you always just boot into X, you don't need moused.

if you dont mind starting your wmanager manually, without using xdm or similar
