Q: can i stream from my phone TO the computer?
Since Apple Music can't be fully controlled from remote app, i want to send music from my ipad or phone to my computer which is hooked up to stereo. Can airplay work in that direction?

That is not mentioned in the Airplay specifications pages and you need to read them word for word. If it does not mention it exactly word-for-word then I take it it does not. AirPlay (iOS) - https://support.apple.com/HT204289 - "With AirPlay, you can stream music, photos, and videos to your Apple TV, or stream music to your AirPort Express or AirPlay-enabled speakers. And with AirPlay Mirroring, you can display your iOS screen on your Apple TV."
Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202809 - "With AirPlay, you can stream music, photos, and videos from iTunes to your Apple TV. Or, stream music from iTunes to your AirPort Express or AirPlay-enabled speakers."
Maybe one of these does:
