What exactly do you mean? If you mean in the way Wine can interact
with native apps on other Unixes, then yes.

What do you mean by 'communication'? What do you want to achieve? Do apps need to share data or do you just want some app on wine to launch a osx app? Be more specific as not everything can be done.

Not directly.

You can create a winelib app. Winelib apps can use both native
libraries and windows DLL's. However, winelib demands the use of a
special compiler (winegcc), and this probably won't be reasonable for
your main application.

I suggest writing a winelib program to act as a bridge between your
application and the Windows DLL's.
