Thanks Javier - one difference below in red: - does that change things?
Server offering secure connection ^ | Linux PC connects to server using an Stunnel client service Linux PC acts as an SQL server creating a secure connection with an Stunnel server service that PULLS SQL server data from the Linux PC ^ | Windows PC with an Stunnel client service connects to the Linux PC with the Stunnel server service.

Note: a client service and server service can run on the same Stunnel instance.
Note2: the above is best viewed on monospace font. The data flow of the ascii "arrows" just show which one connects to which one, not the, also involved, return data.
Answering to the other questions:
A client service on Stunnel wraps a plain text connection on a secure connection to connect to a remote secure service. Supports "n" number of outgoing connections.
The server service on Stunnel offers a secure channel to connect from a secure capable application or another Stunnel instance with a client service. Supports "n" number of incoming connections.
"n" depends on the OS, the CPU, the RAM, etc.
