Streaming From PC - Some Questions

Hey Steam Deck community. I’m hoping that I can get some help from the community.

Is it possible to unlock my Windows PC remotely? I currently run Home Assistant, and have WOL setup so I can easily wake it, but without logging in, I can’t stream to my Steam Deck. Is there any way around that? I am not willing to remove the login password from my PC. This is the main thing I want to solve.
Should stream via Steam or is there a better option? Moonlight?
When you stop streaming from the deck, what happens to the game on the PC? Does it stop running?

Thanks in advance!

I use moonlight occasionally and it will let me login including for the first time when using nvidias drivers for the server if that is what you’re looking for
