2° why using -DMSW flag while _WIN32 definition works without
adding it in CFLAGS?
because it has been like that forever, it was unclear at some point

there are indeed automatic defines on w32 (esp. on M$VC) and because
"win" suggests superiority where there is none.
MSW has been replaced in some places by _WIN32, but since MSW get's
(manually) defined for building on w32 anyhow, there is no real
advantage in using one over the other,
There is definitely a real advantage to using the automatic ones. It
means that the source files are not dependent on a particular build
system. When porting Pd to Android, which then led to the libpd
effort, we had to spend a lot of time dealing with the places where
automatic defines were not used. Every time someone uses libpd
embedded in a new environment, like Xcode, Eclipse, ant, etc., they
have to revisit that pain.
Please stop using MSW and NT.
