Is it possible to compile a Win32 program on a Linux computer without the use of an emulator or Wine or anything?

Yes.
For more infomation, google "gcc crosscompile win32".

Yes, sure it is possible. You have to use a cross-compiler toolchain. You can find a good gcc cross toolchain both for 32 and 64 bit targets at the following address http://www.drangon.org/mingw/

Yes it is possible, C++ was designed to compile the same code on multiple platforms, however take notice: if you have windows specific system calls/commands in your program they won't work on Linux and vice-versa.

This doesn't even come close to answering the question.

It wasn't meant to, the people that answered before me gave the answer. I just wanted to remark to the OP that if he has system calls he should convert those manually, it wouldn't compile otherwise on a different platform. Or maybe I just misunderstood the question. Anyway, I just hope my comment helped somehow.
