Have you set the correct packet sizes for the LAN port ?

Maybe you have to tweak rewrite, and make certain that you have
routes to all the possible SMTP destinations, or you will need a SMTP
relay host to take care of those cases, and make the corrections to
handle those exceptions with rewrite.

You need to have access to a DNS server to resolve those addresses
that are not in your domain.txt, and set it up in JNOS so it can
query the DNS server.

Opening proper IP routes to those hosts. Windows does have TCPIP, but
on DOS, you will be limited to NCSA Telnet, DOSLYNX, or Arachne.
Perhaps some other packages using their own TCPIP stack, like the
Waterloo University stacks (the above three programs do use such a
stack).

Yes. Search on ftp://pc.usl.edu/pub/ham. There are docs, utility
programs, and help files, both user and sysop. Don't be misled, JNOS
is not easy to understand, but works very well once correctly setup.
There is a list, believe it is on hydra.carleton.ca, but I never
subscribed to it. Many of your doubts could be cleared out there.
Examples might reflect cases that are not your own. You need a bit of
creativity there (and understanding, and be very lucky to do it right
from the first time).

Whatever you can move with TCPIP if your client has a TCPIP stack.
Or out of TCPIP, AX25 packet, but it would be a bit weird on the
LAN. In radio, of course it works, with all the known limitations.
Better, with hosts on the LAN use Linux capabilities to understand
DOS/Windows. That might be TCPIP or IPX setting up a Linux pseudo
Netware server using mars-nwe for DOS and additionally, SMB for
Windows.
