Hi,

 1. Since my machines are not part of the same network, is it possible
 for a machine X to connect to a machine Y by using a Windows account,
 like X\the_username?

  Did you meant different domain, if it is different domain , you could set
a trust relationship between domains. After that you
will be able to access sql server using the OS users

2. If I want to use SQL logins only, how can I rename the sa login?

You cant rename or remove SA user. Only way to restrict the SA user is to
set a complex password which can not be guessed.

Thanks
Hari
