Haven't been able to find anything on #1, but I do have iFile for #2 (yes, my iPhone is jailbroken). Unfortunately, iFile limits file uploads to a web interface over WiFi which means a single file at a time. I'm looking for a standard Windows Explorer interface for large data transfers.
what are you really trying to do?

the iphone is not a windows device, so why would you want a windows command line? if you need to remotely connect to windows machines (or macs or unix boxes), there are several apps that support that.

there are also apps that can turn the iphone into a wireless hard drive that supports ftp, afp, smb and/or webdav, and it's not as slow as you seem to think. usb and flash are not all that fast.
