Do i need to be on the same network?
Can I RDP to my public ip if its forwarded?
Do I need to VPN in?
RDP via pc works normally from outside?
Thanks

If your Treo can access internet anyway whatsoever - then the answer to your queries is:
Do i need to be on the same network? No
Can I RDP to my public ip if its forwarded? Yes, if your computer is enabled to receive RD, but only in XP Pro, and Vista Business/Ultimate. Not sure about the Home series (Vista stinks).
Do I need to VPN in? No
RDP via pc works normally from outside? Outside - yes (ex. at a doctor appointment), Inside - yes (at home, or at your ma's place).
Your Treo is essentially a PPC (pocket personal computer), and you're able to do RDP with no problem - that is if you're using Windows Mobile 5 or 6, but I don't know what operating system you have on it which could be questionable.
Good luck
