Let's say there are three computers:
A) My Home Desktop
B) My Home Server
C) Friends Computer (in another house)
Can use Use Remote Desktop Connection from my Home Desktop, to connect to the friend's computer. And then, in that session, open RDP on the friend's computer and use it to connect to my Home Server?

I know it's convoluted. My goal is to test whether I can connect from my friend's computer to my home, and since he's non-technical and in another country, this is the easiest way I can think of to test RDP to my home from his, before I move over there.
 
VPN would be a far better solution. Why don;t you just save a .rdp Remote Desktop Configuration, zip it and send it to your friend to open. If he gets a login screen, done.

Can you not just tether your home desktop to your mobile and use Mobile Data to test?

Or, even easier - Use Mobile Data with a Smartphone based RDP App (PocketCloud on Android f.ex)
 
Teamviewer is the easiest solution I know of. Reliable, simple and free.

EDIT: or teamviewer into the friends PC then RDP back into your server. That will work.
 
An RDP session inside another RDP session is fine. Just make sure you drag the bar at the top to one side so you can tell which session you are in.

I was working the other day on a stack of connections that went RDP > Citrix Desktop > RDP > RDP. Laaaaaaagy :p
