The desktop version "inside server" is to create and explore licenses. If you have one of these, you can create a sheet/dashboard using the Tableau Server through your browser.
Is there a Tableau Desktop executable inside the Tableau server installation.
I have a system where Tableau server in Cloud and would want to use Tableau Desktop in the same server? Is that feasible?

Tableau Server lets you make limited edits to existing workbooks, but you can not create new workbooks directly.
However, if you want to install Tableau Desktop separately, on the same cloud server that hosts your Tableau Server, it may (or may not) be doable depending on the specifications of the cloud server.
Tableau Server and Desktop are two different products and Server does not ship with a copy of Desktop.
They can both be installed on the same windows machine, but I would never do that except for trouble-shooting reasons (ideally you should install Tableau Server on a dedicated machine so that it does not have to fight anything else for resources).
Tableau Server provides permissioned users with the ability to leverage Web Authoring to create/edit server content. Web authoring has the same look/feel as desktop, and has most of the features.
Many go this route as it comes with your server license, so the additional desktop purchase is not necessary. More Info Here
