.exe is the executable extension for Windows, though OP could use wine to run the exe program using linux

I haven't heard of anyone creating a program to convert projects to Debian/whatever else Linux executables, only Windows (and I think at least one person did macOS as well) executables. My recommendation would be to use a .sb3 to HTML converter like this one and then create an Electron app for it which you could easily port to Windows and macOS if required.

I think tar.gz might be easier to find (it's supported throughout Linux, unlike .deb), but I don't think that's a thing (on Linux; I use Linux, so I looked). However, there is at least one converter that turns it into an HTML file, which you can put on your desktop. When you run it, it will open a tab on your browser that runs the code in the HTML file, which I think works offline too, so if that's the reason you want an app, then that might be an option.

Sorry, but you can't - it doesn't work like that. The Forkphorus HTML packager and NW.js (as @ScratchCatHello said) will only turn your Scratch project in to something similar to a portable program, but not an installable one. You can try getting an installer maker of some sort on Google though.

Ok. I remember there being lots of roundabout ways of doing that, but I'm not sure if any of them work on linux.

My suggestion is to look into using Electron, which you can use to turn your HTML page into an app.

Snapp does it, but you'll need to use the Snapinator to turn your Scratch projects into a special XML file first.
Some new blocks in 3.0 don't work properly, so you may need to edit the code or use an SB2.
