Yes, that is how I have always done it.

Tip: Make a second user account on the system you want to access and use the exact same name and password as you have on your other computer. Then when you go to choose which user to give access to, it will be recognized.

OP sounds like someone that hated Windows Vista but liked Windows Mojave.

Make some tea.

Save some money and go with a D5000 series body like the D5600: same resolution, same image processor, etc. Put the money you save into the lens.

I could never live without Lightroom and Photoshop but as far as free options go, check out PhotoPea.

With only a $200 budget I'd rather have something like a brand new Moto G6 than a used phone.

There are plenty of options including some really nice high end solutions, however, if you want something good and cheap, I'd suggest checking out these YI Home Cameras. 1080p video, wireless, footage can be stored locally on an SD card, you can view live or past footage from your phone, and a cloud service is completely optional. The best part is they are around $30 each. Essentially Nest Cams for less than 1/5 the price. When I first discovered these cameras I didn't expect much for the price. I have used and setup a dozen of these over the last 1-2 years and I continue to be pleasantly surprised with how well they work. Three cameras plus SD cards would be under $125.

It depends on the content.

I'd highly suggest a 35mm or 50mm prime lens. I own a bunch of different lenses (including a 35 and 50) but the 35mm ends up on my camera far more than anything else. The sharpness keeps me coming back and a non zoom lens makes you more thoughtful about your composition.

If you really do not want to spend over $400, pick up a Nikon D3400 kit (includes a 18-55mm lens). They are currently going for $399 on Amazon.

If $400 is really your maximum budget then the Nikon D3400 kit with 18-55mm lens, currently $399 on Amazon.
