None of your points are Windows specific. On POSIX platforms, Alt-TAB
is used commonly with to switch windows, and Alt-LETTER to open menus.
But your proposed solution is myopically focused on Windows, and I have
not seen a good explanation of why it should be so.

Hijacking the Windows key is not exactly following the "common
standards".
