If makerbot slicer exports gcode (not .xg3) then yes it would work because the gpx plugin on the octoprint server will convert it to .xg3 and send it to your printer.

Not sure i would suggest team view or hardware mod (not that i have a problem with hardware mod's - but the octoprint approach is much safer and easier)

if you use teamviewer, you are still susceptible to pc crashes, loosing interet. etc.
depending on your skills with a soldering iron you may or may not want to mess with that, i was originally going to go that route until i discovered the octoprint route and since my local pc store had rpi2's for $29 i figured what the heck.
I'm happy with that method because it allows me remote control of my printer, while viewing it through a web cam and i can shut my pc off at night and just let my printer and print server do all the work.
bonus i got to print an rpi2 case
