Answer 1

Perhaps you could look into using autorun or some variant thereof (e.g. a program that would monitor the USB bus for devices, and automatically run some program when it detects that an appropriate storage device has been connect).

Bear in mind that, depending on the physical setup, this could be used as an attack vector.

Answer 2

As Celeriko said, you should try to find a way into connecting to your server remotely. Whether that be through SSH or a tool such as PUTTY (basically SSH right? I'm not sure off top of my head).

Having a usb automatically execute something would be a security risk and I believe it is restricted for that reason. Best of luck trying to connect remotely into your server, it shouldn't be too difficult.
