Your disk line looks ok to me, but I'm not sure what you are concerned
about here.

"xl console" gets you access to the virtual serial device. I don't think
Windows would attach anything to that at least not by default. 

Try connecting to the VNC and you should see the Windows GUI.

Looks like you can launch that automatically (subject to a suitable
vncclient being installed) using the -V option to xl create. Otherwise "xl
vncviewer <dom>" instead of xl console should work.
