ext3 as well

Not really. all drivers/apps for Windows only support ext3 because the
difference is mostly the journal. AFAIK, no driver/app supports the ext3
journal, so in reality, they only support ext2.

That's correct, however ext3 is backwards compatible, so you can read write an
ext3 partition(it feels like an ext2 one), however - if you perform write
tasks, then it will have to rebuild the journal on next "real" use of ext3
(probably when you start Linux again).

Not quite... ext3 can use some attrributes and features that ext2 doesn't understand. An ext3 filesystem making use of those can not be mounted as ext2.

AFAIK, it's not only the journal. But I don't remember where I read that.
