With several issues on my old install, I thought the best solution would be to wipe and start again.
So, I have Wordpress 5.2.2 installed...
1. I can't import the XML export I created before I deleted the old site.
2. I'll restore from an old backup?
At this point, I've spent 4 hours doing something that should have taken 2.
Any advice?

Besides for the fact that I really don't recommend running WordPress on windows....
1) you are correct that typically on windows it is user.ini vs php.ini and some of the formatting of settings is slightly different
2) The issue with XML import might be a PHP extension not being able on the server
3) If you can view the database you should be able to see the default email for the site in the options table
4) If you have access to the server error log, you should see the PHP error (assuming errors are logged) as to what the issue is
If I had to guess it's one of a couple things
a) could be a path / permission settings
b) could be a memory issue - not enough memory
c) could be a php version issue
or it could be something else all together
Hopefully this can help get you going in the right direction
