Hello,
Re: NINA, SkyTools reads data from the NINA configuration files, so you do normally need to have SkyTools and NINA installed on the same machine. So you could install NINA on both, but you should take some care to ensure that NINA is configured identically to the other machine. The files that SkyTools generates can be copied to the corresponding NINA folder on your other device, but this seems like a clunky bottleneck, depending on how inclined you might be to make a change while you were imaging, or if there is some sort of problem.
I think what most people do is work remotely. You could install SkyTools on the device with NINA and log into that device to use it from your other machine.
Or you could network the two computers and have SkyTools read/write the NINA data over the network via shared folders.
