Running windows VM with Notes on linux host should not really be an issue, because at the end Notes is running on Windows and does not need to be aware of underlying architecture. Are you facing any issues in that?
Regarding your requirement to access Notes application from Linux OS for that you need to access application from browser as HCAA is not supported on Linux OS.
Hope this helps
