Answer 1

Windows is a bit different than on Linux.
Personally I have a large script setup that I deploy on Windows that mimics psconfig.sh from the *nix side.
It's somewhat messy and has scripts that include scripts that include other scripts so I'm not inclined to share it really.
If you simply want to run psadmin, create a .bat script for each ps_home and use it instead, since every new cmd prompt gets a fresh start on env variables, don't set anything at a user/system level. Set up the variables you want in the bat files, if running psadmin, it will take care of most of the values for you, so you don't need to put them on in the bat script unless you want to do advanced stuff like run tmadmin directly. For instance you can issue commands directly to tmadmin and make script to do lots of things, then again, you could also use the psadmin command options like psadmin -c boot -d <domain>
For instance something like
set PATH=D:\psoft\FIN853;%PATH%
set PS_HOME=D:\psoft\FIN853
set PS_APP_HOME=D:\psoft\FIN853
set PS_CFG_HOME=D:\psoft\Domains
set PS_CUST_HOME=D:\psoft\FIN853
: maybe set TUXDIR=D:\psoft\TuxedoPath
: maybe set PS_SERVDIR=%PS_CFG_HOME%\appserv\prcs\FIN853
set ORACLE_SID=FIN853
D:\
cd %PS_HOME%\appserv
: maybe execute psadmin.exe maybe not, maybe we don't want to run it every time and instead just drop us in the appserv directory
%PS_HOME%\appserv\psadmin.exe
