Reading the manual is amazingly helpful:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php

I would also suggest to simply use the MS Web Platform installer, it
will setup everything you need, even mysql or other non php.net
softwares. It uses the same installer than php.net (fetched from the
same location).

For your other questions, that's not directly windows specific
questions but more about developments and deployments "strategy",
there are dozen of tutorials about these topics out there.
