Connecting a laptop display to a Raspberry Pi can be a rather advanced process.

As a newbie it might be recommended that you get hold of a PC monitor or TV and use that as a display while you're getting started.

Attaching an LCD to he PI is rather complicated. If you want to use the whole laptop as a terminal device you can do that by installing VNC or use SSH to redirect the X windows session to the laptop where you can do what ever

Yes of course, but not easily and certainly more complicated than I would wish on someone just wanting to get it to work rather than spend months learning and fiddling. You would need a method of getting the GPIO to deliver data at a speed the LCD will take and also Single ended/LVDS buffer to drive it. I could think of some ways to do it but really you are punishing yourself it's too complex some one who wanted to do it wouldnt be asking me any questions I assure you.

What are you trying to get out of this project in the end in terms of final product and any learning objectives?
