Again, you should google about win32 batch language. I think
incoming script arguments are expressed as %1%, %2%, or something
like that.

No idea.

Even if that's true, then just make your batch file run 'C:\bin
\python myscript.py %1% %2%'. Then you don't have to learn batch
language at all.

Print to stderr. This text comes from the pre-commit template file:

# If the hook program exits with success, the txn is committed; but
# if it exits with failure (non-zero), the txn is aborted, no commit
# takes place, and STDERR is returned to the client.
