">" is wrong, of course, because it will try to direct the output into
a file named "mysql". "|" is what is used to pipe between programs.

That wouldn't work, would it? I am quite sure the pipes are all
interpreted by your local shell, so that would effectively mean to
send the data via ssh to the remote machine for unzipping and then
processing the output that got sent back via a local mysql. ;)

And you could use build-in compression of ssh. So presuming a working
ssh on the Microsoft Windows machine, something like this hopefully works:
mysqldump ... | ssh -C myoffice mysql -u username -p pass
