Basically, Yes.

Apple keyboards are USB keyboards, and all basic functions will work just fine on a PC, with some limitations: the hardware control functions (volume control, brightness control, media control buttons, etc.) will not work, and the modifier keys are marked differently than those on a Windows computer (for example, the [option] key on a Mac keyboard is where the [Windows] key would be on a PC keyboard).

Yes. If the keyboard is a USB keyboard, it can be connected to either a Mac or PC.

Older serial or PS/2 keyboards should work as well, but might need an adapter. While the alphanumeric keys and some others will work as expected, the functions of keys around the perimeter of the keyboard might not work as expected. That is, Control/Option/Command might be in a slightly different order when used on a PC and the volume keys and eject key might not work at all. If you are need a particular key, you might be able to use the Keyboard in the Control Panel in Windows to adjust the use of the keys to your needs.

Most standard keyboards can work with an Apple Mac but those specifically designed to work with a Mac will have the Mac specific keys such as Command etc.
