Unfortunately not i don't believe, not without any fancy third party products i dotn think.

your Keyboard and mouse plug into your PC rather than your monitor so it doesn't know how to split the sources to use what devices.

i know you can control more than one PC with the same keyboard and mouse using a KVM switch but i dont think it works the other way around unfortunately

You can do something like that using two or more computers in a "secure shell" (ssh) setup, which I've only done in Linux Mint configured for this function. I'm not entirely sure if you can run the WINE emulator through ssh but it's worth giving it a shot.

The server computer needs to be exceptionally powerful because the programs will run on this while you just use the other computers as something like controllers.
