I'm using Secure Shell on chrome which is great. Now the only problem is that I cannot use xterm. Is there a way to install X11? Thanks!

For traditional Chromebooks, the nassh secure shell extension supports ports forwarding (tunneling) but not support X11 forwarding.
Instead, if you can install software in the remote computer, you may try a VNC client or the Google Remote Desktop.
Using Android Apps
Recently. some Chromebooks can run Android apps. If you have one of these manchines, you may try one of the X-windows apps for android.
- For instance, there are the Darkside X Server, XServer XSDL and QVD Client in the Play Store.
Using Crouton
Some developers use their Chromebook in "developer mode" and install crouton Ubuntu. The Crouton defines a chroot-based Linux environment that may run X-windows.
- Crouton may run X-windows in two modes: using Xiwi (X11 in a window), that runs the X in a Chrome window, or using XORG in a different virtual screen. A tutorial video for installing Crouton was published by chromeunboxed (see the X-window starting at 18:00 minute)..
- Some time ago, David Crumpton prublished a guide to use the X windows of the Chromebook. If you hacve some problems, there are some hints on the library paths and variables that you may check.

Yes.
Enable Linux beta mode. The preinstalled linux terminal on chromeos is embeded with xclient. Make sure the machine that you ssh into has x11 forwarding enabled.
Simple test:
ssh -X username@your.server.ip
