What compiler are you using? There shouldn't be command shell window, as we are using a compiler option to create a windowed application. But maybe it does not work on all versions of gcc, or on msvc.

IMHO:
1. emacsclientw.exe should never wait (default is "-n")

Waiting is required for many applications, and taking care of 2 will eliminate the remaining reason why you might want emacsclient to disappear immediately. So I don't think there is any good reason to make this the default.

2. The code should have WinMain() instead of main() as this will
eliminate the initial console window from popping up.

The compiler should take care of that. See above.
