Don't take it seriously. Your main option seems to be fakeing a second screen and copying the game from that, but issues with lighting and Wi-Fi suggest it might not work. Also, input methods probably won't function correctly. Overall, it looks like a tough situation.

I question whether a Raspberry Pi can manage game streaming effectively.

It's feasible and seems to function properly. You might even build a laptop using a Motorola LapDock and utilize it.

If the Pi isn't quick enough, can you try using the laptop instead while it runs quietly in the background? It’s a budget Samsung device—right now it needs fixing because it was dropped, and I don’t have the exact model.

The RasPi might function, but likely only at a medium bitrate with 720p quality. Your computer won't perform well because of its design, making normal gaming experience difficult.

Really, it would be helpful. Could a virtual machine accomplish this instead?

It seems the CPU doesn’t support sending I/O devices such as a GPU into VMs, which could limit GPU performance inside the VM. However, the setup should still function properly otherwise.
