As far as your Remote Desktop connection, it works just like windows remote desktop. You put the ip address you want to connect to and you hit connect.
You obvious need to make sure you are on the same network using wifi, or open up a port in your router and have it direct Remote Desktop connections directly to the computer you want. (This can be dangerous)
There are tutorials all over the web if you need step-by-step instructions for this.
There are also wake-on-lan (WOL) applications for your phone that will actually turn on your computer remotely from anywhere (across the country) if you want to set it up like that.
