1. ":set guifont=Cousine\ 10" is only for gvim with GTK2 GUI. On Windows, AFAIK that can only exist for running under Cygwin X11 with the Cygwin DLL. For "native" Windows (running with no help of Cygwin or X11), you should use ":set guifont=Cousine:h10:cDEFAULT".
2. You should set 'guifont' in your vimrc so it loads at the very start of GUI startup (it will be remembered until then). In the gvimrc I think it is too late. 3. Which sort of GUI you got is displayed near the top of the output of ":version". 4. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI for details.
