XeLaTeX works fine with figures in PDF. I remember a few years ago
there was a Mac specific bug in figure inclusion, all figures worked
in the Linux version but some of them did not work on Mac. The bug was
reported and fixed. There may be a MiKTeX specific bug. If you cannot
include a PDF using \includegraphics even in a simple document with
nothing else, send it to me. I will try in Linux in order to see what
is the problem. Of course, you cannot easily exchange the fonts that
are present in the PDF file (it can be done using commercial tools
such as InDesign or after dirty hackung). If I need the same font in
figures and in the text, I generate the figures without texts and then
add them in the picture environment. Tikz can also be used.

\input is intended for inclusion of a TeX code, not for images.
However, if you put the \includegraphics command to an external file
and you wish to specify dimensions when including the file, you can
define the size parametrically. for instance, your file may contain
\includegraphics[width=\w]{something.pdf}
and when including the file, you will write
\def\w{.57\textwidth}
\input{somefile}
