I was in India in March. I also flew CW landing at 1-30am from memory into DEL. DEL is a modern airport and even at that time of the morning it was a breeze coming through immigration and meeting out prebooked car. On the outbound we were in transit from CMB but found the airport a pleasant experience. There are rooms for hire if required (we weren't allowed through until 4 hours before departure). The lounge was average but there is a great sports pub to while away the hours watching cricket
As for touristy things to do, Agra (Taj), Jaipur and Ranthambore (Tigers if it's open now) are all easily doable over a short period. Might be a good idea to hire a guide, especially when you first try to book train tickets! DO travel by train though, great fun.
Hope you get the CW flights and have a great time
