I'm pretty sure iperf only really sets the socket buffer size, not
the tcp window size.  In fact, that's what the help entry says:

  -w, --window    #[KM]    TCP window size (socket buffer size)
 =20
At least on FreeBSD the maximum window size is controlled by a global
variable.  You need to make sure you are setting both.  If you want to
use windows end-hosts, you'll need to ask a windows list what you need
to do there.

That's expected.

No, dummynet doesn't know anything about TCP.
