yes, easy.

login to your remote machine with X-forwarding enabled:
$ ssh -X rpi2 pd -lib Gem
OR
$ ssh -Y rpi2 pd -lib Gem


you can tell [gemwin] where to create the window using an X-window
specification):
[create :0(
|
[gemwin]


you might need to actively allow the latter (via `xhost`).

yes, this is also possible, but usually much more complicated.

the Pd-gui has nothing to do with Gem, which is running solely in the
pd-core.
in this context, "client" vs "server" is bad nomenclature, as it is both
confusing (X-server (see my actual answer above) uses client/server) and
(sometimes) untrue (both pd and pd-gui can act as server (resp. client)
with respect to each other)
