Solution
No, there is no way that I know of where you can use a laptop GPU to render graphics for a PC.
In your PC, the GPU is connected to the CPU through the PCIe lanes, these transfer data at a very high rate. You would need some kind of connection between your PC and laptop that could match the PCIe transfer rate, currently there is nothing on either of them that could allow for such high speed transfer of data.

I suppose you could use a crossover Ethernet connection and use something like steam streaming to do it. It may not be perfect but it works surprisingly well over a wired connection.

If the tower has an iGPU, you could boot it up, share the folder across the network, and possibly run from the network share on the laptop. Depends on the game itself - some have registry entries, etc.
