> How does windows (and Python on windows) handle NFC versus NFD issues?

That's left to the application.

> Can I have two files called "ümlaut.txt", one in NFD and one NFC form?

Yes, you can. It sounds confusing, but only in a theoretical way. You
never have combining characters on Windows (at least, I don't). The
keyboard input defaults to NFC, and users normally don't type file
names, anyways, except when creating the files - later, they just use
the mouse to indicate what file they want to act on.

Certainly!

> CIf I compare

Certainly!
