Yes.

I don't know nor am I willing to setup a test environment for it.

Same as above.

If the DND links are of the form file://HOST/ then the current DND
handler won't run.  I don't have a way to test it myself so I can't
write a handler for remote files.  I am not sure if we can even reuse
the existing the org-attach code for remote files.

I don't have access to a Windows machine so can't test it unfortunately.

The current code already inserts a link to the dropped files.
