2. Yes, it is possible a couple of ways: First, with some creativity (use a headless Mac with the above installed and Remote/VNC into it, when needed)
...or you can utilize a Hackintosh or a virtual machine of OS X on PC hardware utilizing VirtualBox (or Parallels, if you want to spend the money and figure it out...):

Easier now, but here's a quick how-to from the past: http://www.sysprobs.com/mac-os-guest-vir...s-7-32-bit

Yeah, I figured on ARD for #1, but when I said "from a PC" on #2, I meant from his existing windows admin computer, not from a purpose-built non-Mac emulating a Mac. Believe me, of all theMac-phobic IT admins I've ever run across, this guy is the biggest d****bag of them all.
