You need MS Office (or MS PowerPoint) on Windows, not OpenOffice.

No.
You would need to modify the SharedPresentation code on Windows to use
OpenOffice. Two approaches you might consider include building pyUNO against
the python interpreter that AGTk 2.3 is using or using the OpenOffice OLE
Automation interface.

Yes. I used SharedPresentation between OpenOffice on FC2 and MS Office on
Windows.
