AFAIK, you cannot do that directly.  The easiest way to achieve this
is to link in a function such as `dosmemget' or `movedata' and call it
from GDB using the `call' command.  (If you need to look at FS:0,
chances are you already have `dosmemget' in your program.)

This is highly improbable.  The binary format used by DJGPP is
different from Watcom's, so the most you could hope for is to debug on
the machine instructions' level.

GDB is of course available on Linux ;-).
