Great! So it works. Seems like you're done...

Makes sense, doesn't it? You've ssh'd to the remote machine. Then on
that machine, you've issued a checkout command. The working copy is
checked out to the same machine on which you ran the checkout command.

No, the working copy is always checked out to the machine on which
you ran the checkout command. If you want to check out the working
copy on the machine whose IP address is 192.168.0.35, then run the
checkout command on the machine whose IP address is 192.168.0.35, not
on the machine whose IP address is 192.168.0.38 like you're doing.

Use the svn command in the DOS command prompt on the Windows machine
to do the checkout. Or use TortoiseSVN as you've already done.

Since you're using the svn+ssh protocol (and not the svn protocol),
you don't need to start svnserve manually (and a copy you've started
manually won't be used). The svn+ssh protocol starts a copy of
svnserve for you when needed and closes it when it's done.
