Burning CDs requires raw access to the device no matter what OS.

Going from Linux->Linux may be possible with the network block device driver, but it definately won't work with Windows. Why not just make an ISO on the Windows box and burn it on Linux via ssh?

Doubt it, Windows is even more limited in this fashion, unless the program supports a client/server burning process which I don't think any do.

I still think the best solution is making the ISO on Windows and burning it from Linux, I believe there are even web page scripts that let you do it through Apache.
