Does the remote server sends the encrypted public key which decrypted by private key from the client and the decrypted public key is sent to the remote server for verification?

The private key never leaves your system, it is never sent over wire. If it would, it would make no sense to call it private key :D

I said is the decrypted public key sent back to the server? Not private key.

Public key is, well, public. It is meant to be transferred publicly. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
