A:
On the OpenSSL website, there is a page for binary packages: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html
I think that is what you want for Windows.
I can't say how good it will work. Also please clarify what you you want to do. You cannot "create SSL for MySQL in Windows". Do you want MySQL to have SSL encrypted connections perhaps?

In windows, it's called a command prompt. Press, Win+R. Then type cmd followed by Enter. You should be familiar with the CLI of your OS. The commands on that page are different for Windows. Since you are doing some server work, why not use a real server OS, like FreeBSD or Debian?
