The port forwarding would happen on your router and would not require the
ISP to do anything. Read your router manual for more information on how to
do this, but you will need to know what ports are used by whatever service
you want to run.

No, you still have the same issue unless you establish the VPN connection
from inside your private network, that is, your home computer connecting to
the remote one, rather than the other way around.

Does you ISP allow you to run a server? Many prohibit it and take steps to
block common servers, blocking incoming web traffic or anything that looks
like an email server.

Robert,

I can turnon port forwarding on my local router no problem, how can I
access that Router from outside since Router's WAN ip address is
private ip address, to access that Router, I have to my ISP to do port
forwarding right?. Without ISP involvement, can I do that?.

Thanks.

No.

As I've said three times now, given the information you've shared, you can't
do what you want without your ISP's involvement. If you haven't contacted
them yet, now is the time to do so.
