Other people have answered the rest of your e-mail pretty well. I'd 
recommend C over C++ as well, as explained in the other e-mails.

There are "Hello World" C source files in GTK documentation. Be sure to 
look them over.

Fedora allows you to cross-compile with MinGW and I use Fedora myself to 
build 32-bit and 64-bit, Linux and Windows executables. I'd highly 
recommend you compile on one platform. It makes life much easier and you 
can use GDB on Windows for any debugging needs.

Fedora carries GTK 2.24 for both Linux and Windows and I'd recommend 
sticking to this version as the Windows build of GTK 2.24 is very 
stable. Previous GTK versions were very unstable.
