Yes and no. There are products that can be used to MANAGE
databases, no matter how complicated (phpMyAdmin is the first
that readily comes to mind). As to front ends for business
applications, here you're on your own. Your database is
obviously custom-developed, and so must me its new front end
you are thinking of.

Not necessarily. You could connect your new office to your
existing network via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This
would allow your new office to use your existing software.
So, to answer your final question:

Yes, it should be possible.
