On Linux (Ubuntu) it is possible to create applications with Windows Forms in the Mono or similar, using a designer such as the Visual Studio?
I am facing problem because I need to develop with Windows Forms in a Linux environment with a designer similar to Visual Studio.
I tried to use the one quoted by mono’s website, but when creating click events, etc it is not possible to do such action.

Possible it is, but the Windows Forms do Mono is quite problematic, generally people do not use. Some problems can be seen in the FAQ.
In general there is preference to use the GTK#. Been having some other options, but nothing that caught traction.
Note that the designer indicates that it is outdated. It occurs because it is essentially abandoned. It may be an existing problem. Don’t expect too much support on something "nobody" uses.
An alternative is to develop in Visual Studio (I know you can’t, according to another question, but it’s an option) and then use in Mono. I don’t know how much will work. In theory it’s supposed to, but in practice I doubt that everything works 100%.
Anyway it is possible to program without the designer.
Consider using the MAUI.

When I use GTK# is it possible to bring the solution to Visual Studio? Because Windows Forms is mainly for classroom use, because personally GTK# helps me well.

Yes. But the experience can suffer a little. Not everything in GTK works perfectly on Windows. It works, but some things are different and get weird. Nothing critical, depends on the taste. Note that GTK# has also not received much attention, it runs on top of an older GTK, but is the safest option in Mono so far and as far as I know.
