Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit supports up to 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough.

Also remote desktop works just fine on Home Premium as far as I know. Even if it did not, TeamViewer works pretty well too.

This depends entirely on exactly what you buy.
If you buy an OEM version, it will be tied to that motherboard.
If you buy a Retail version, you can then use that on a different PC. As always, only one at a time.

But you really, really don't need Ultimate.
