You need a bridge device, e. g. Profilific PL-2301 or PL-2302. Ready-made bridge cables are available.

No. This can work with an USB dual-role or OTG controller, never with a PC.

Impossible! USB is a differential line Bus, No TX RX involved like RS-232.

PC is A USB host, it can communicate to a USB slave(peripheral) only.
USB bus is a host slave arrangement.

As far as I know you may need a hardware or software arrangement to imitate a slave for both hosts so that the intermediate device or software module handles the transfer.

I am also interested in knowing more about the possible methods.
Thanks

Here is a article probably our needed solution.
