I guess I'm missing something (like why the OP want's to run a shell
in a separate window), but why not just

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :dir /ssh:lycastus:/home/bviren :session *shell*
  /bin/pwd
  echo $HOSTNAME
  ls -l foo.sh
  echo "---"
  cat foo.sh
  echo "---"
  source ./foo.sh
  echo $FOO
#+END_SRC

?
