A customer sent me a CSR and the .CER of a certificate for a linux server that I host. The customer does not have access to this machine.
Is this enough data to generate a valid certificate? Is it possible to generate the .KEY from the .CSR for a valid certificate?

You can't derive the private key from the certificate (signed public key) or the certificate signing request. If you could, the crypto would be utterly useless.
