Answer 1

X clients (e.g. the remote application) find the X server (e.g. your local system) via the $DISPLAY environment variable, and are authenticated for connection via xauth cookies.

You must either allow a direct connection from the remote system to the local system and set $DISPLAY appropriately (e.g. export DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0 or DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0 xclock) and propagate the cookie to the remote system, or use something like SSH's X forwarding (i.e. ssh -X user@remotehost xclock) in order to automatically allow them to display on your system.
