your application should work fine with Tor's runtime, but you need to
check it.
Inno Setup is just an example how to make an installation of
your program easier for your client. but it is not necessary.

Sorry, I don't see a problem here. 

The best way to develop GTK applications on Windows is not installing
any gtk runtime in the system. just put runtime packages from Tor's site
to your application's directory. you won't have problems where your
program is running fine on your development workstation and is not on
your client's computer.
