I am doing some development on my MacBook and I would like to use my desktop to access it remotely as I have a dual monitor setup. Is there a way to do this? My desktop is Windows and my Mac is a 2015 Retina MacBook Pro.

Yes
You can edit the connection and under the login settings you can untick the Reconnect automatically if disconnected box. You can configure this in the Default.rdp file or alternatively in each connection if you save separate rdp files. However, as far as I am aware it will only worked if you have saved settings for that particular machine/server.
You can use VNC to remotely control your Mac. There's instructions around here to turn on the built-in OS X VNC server (it's pretty straightforward), and a Windows VNC viewer (I linked to a Google search because I don't know a particular good viewer for Windows because I don't use VNC on Windows).

Best Answer
Download RealVNC Viewer for Windows and move it to the applications folder.
In the macOS open System Preferences > Sharing and enable "Screen Sharing" for either All users or restrict it to your user.
Open RealVNC Viewer and enter the IP or the host name of the Mac and hit the enter key.
