Answer 1

It appears the answer is No, pudb can't be used in Windows at present.

The underlying problem is that pudb relies on urwid, which expects a unix-like environment. There is a message in 2006 indicating 3 methods of using urwid on windows, namely: cygwin, cursesw, and pdcurses. So it there is an avenue of exploration for an adventurer.
