That's a native 64-bit build of lldb, AFAIU.  It should be okay for
debugging native Windows programs, at least the 64-bit programs.  (I
only ever used a 32-bit build of lldb for debugging 32-bit MinGW
programs, and it worked OK.)

Yes, but that's not necessarily relevant for debugging, except that
you might see mangled names.
