To answer your first question, yes, you can use use a usb card reader to make a CF/SD bootable and copy Windows install files and whichever drivers you need for your retro machine, than start the install on the latter.

There is atleast one capture card that support ZV, the Margi Capture-to-Go, it also has svideo input. Most capture cards don't support ZV, and only had composite video input, like Nogatech, Iodata, Ratoc, IBM. What are the specs of the laptop?

Read the thread from the start, the NSM card is in the first post. wiretap, did you ask the seller if he had software or papers along with the card? And thanks for the link, it was cheap indeed.
