There is not too much difference application wise between mac and windows. In this case, yes, there is no graphic converter for windows and I can not tell you which application for windows has an equally simple way to crop and straighten.
For your daughter's Nikon I am not totally sure which lenses to advice. I think the Tokina 12-24mm f4 I have used may not have a version with its own motor, so it will not autofocus on most lower end Nikon bodies (D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100. D5000, D5100).
Obviously the Canon EF 35mm f2 does not even mount on a Nikon, so that lens is not an option either. The nikon AF-S 35mm f1.8 DX is not ideal for this purpose, as it has a bit barrel distortion for this.

The Tokina 35mm f2.8 DX macro has lower barrel distortion, but lacks its own motor, so will not AF on above mentioned DSLRs.
One lens that really might suit you is the Nikon AF-S 40mm f2.8 micro. It has almost no barrel/pincushion distortion:

So, basically a fine lens to fill the role I use my 35mm f2 for, and also great to photograph the smaller 12" paintings, as it, being a macro lens, fan focus close by.
Only thing it will not do is frame the bigger works if you can not take enough distance from them, and then a wider angle lens is needed. But that is for you to experience/figure out.
