No, because tc is not debian nor debian like.

You can manually unpack a deb package and copy the contents (use the forum search to find out how), but since the app was not compiled on tc, you might not get the expected results.

Sure - the main extension for compiling in tintcore is compiletc. If you download this with the appbrowser, it will download a series of extensions most commonly required for compiling.

Depending on what exactly you're compiling, you may need other *-dev extensions.

You could also have a look at the extensions section in the wiki
