osm2pgsql is binary program written in C. It may compile eg. under
Cygwin, even easily. As an alternative, you'd run it on a Linux box
and use the PostGIS database on your Windows box, which should work
fine.

I cannot really help you with the compilation. Either run it on a
Linux box (Debian even has it as a package), or try to build it with
Cygwin. If that works, it's by far the easiest way to get it build for
Windows.

Don't know, never did that :)
