If you don’t want to use the MagicMirror2 then you can try to use Rainmeter which is a highly customizable visual desktop information program.

Generally speaking yes, if the IR frame says it is supported by linux or has linux driver it’s going to work.

The MagicMirror2 software doesn’t use the traditional “apps”, so no. It uses Modules and is displayed as a webpage (i.e you can view it in your own browser or the built in electron browser), and there are a few out there but not in the way you seem to be after.
