Well the android SDK contains an emulator and you can install it on Windows.

If you open the SDK zip for windows, in the tools directory you have emulator.exe, but I have no clue if you can use it directly by extracting only this file without the rest of the SDK.

Indeed, you can't.

You cannot download the emulator separately from the SDK, for any platform, for any version of Android.

I don't think you can run an emulator without its supporting avd and kernal. If you want to check you can try pasting the emultor.exe somewhere in your drive create a AVD and see if you are able to start the emulator from the command prompt.
