Answer 1

You can use basic Outlook rules to create a desktop alert with any given condition, no need for any script or special program
If you want, the rule can also run a script and then you can do whatever you want there

Answer 2

From the following webpage, https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/outlooks-rules-and-alerts-run-a-script/
Using VBA
Something like this:
Public Sub ShowMessage(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
'code
End Sub
The argument must by type MailItem or MeetingItem for the subroutine to be available in the Rules Wizard in Outlook 2007. In Outlook 2010 and 2013 (and up), PostItem also works.
Open Rules Wizard. In Outlook 2010 and 2013, it's on Outlook's Home ribbon,
Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts. Look on the Tools menu in older versions.
Open Rules Wizard
Click New Rule.
Select Apply Rule on messages I receive and click Next.
Select your conditions and click Next.
Select Run a script action (near the bottom).
The finished run a script rule
Click on a script.
Select the script
Select your script, click OK.
Click Next then finish the rule.

There are several ways to get the job done:
Create a rule in Outlook manually and assign a VBA macro which can be triggered by the rule. For example:
Public Sub TestRule(Item As Object)
If(Item.SenderEmailAddress = "eugene#test.com") Then
MsgBox "Got email!"
End If
End Sub
Use the VBA routine for handling incoming emails. The NewMailEx event fires when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. You can use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection array to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem. The EntryIDsCollection string contains the Entry ID that corresponds to that item.
Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal EntryIDCollection As String)
Dim mai as Object
Set mai = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(EntryIDCollection)
If(mai.SenderEmailAddress = "eugene#test.com") Then
MsgBox "Got email!"
End If
End Sub
