i don't think the example you have is traditional unix. Perhaps you
forgot the dollar sign? Also, in my env, there's no “history” as env
var by default (never heard of that), but there's “$HIST”.

env var expansion works in emacs's shell command in both OS X and
Windows Vista. However, when you run shell in emacs, not necessarly
all your env var in terminal are inherited. The situation is a bit
complex depending on what OS you running.
