I can only guess: that other 64-bit build has all the necessary
libraries statically linked into the binary: see the marked "-static"
link-time switch above.

No, I think you don't have them, at least not where Windows looks for
DLLs for Emacs.

There's no grep in that archive, only shell scripts that call grep.
They are there because they are part of the bzip2 library, which is
required by some of the image DLLs.

Almost all of them. Apart of image DLLs, that zip file includes
GnuTLS (required for HTTPS networking) and libxml2 (required for
browsing HTML and XML files). These two non-image libraries have
dependency libraries, of course, but other than that, all the rest is
for images of several kinds.
