1. The message suggests a corrupted download to me.

But it also crossed my mind that you may be able to add the Windows
architecture to the MacTeX installation, share the MacTeX directory
with the Windows virtual machine, and use WinEdt with this shared
MacTeX.  Adding Windows binaries would require a command such as
`tlmgr platform add win32' issued from a terminal window. But you
might want to first ask advise about this on the MacTeX list.
