Hmm, being a bit impatient, aren't we?  It's only been two days...

To answer your questions:

1) the minimal complete installation of an X server would require you to
select "xorg-x11-xwin" in Cygwin setup and let setup select all of the
dependences.  Anything smaller will probably break in unexpected and
unpleasant ways.
2) Ideally you send the information to the list and the X maintainer will
integrate your keyboard into the list so it's detected automatically.
However, I don't recall the exact procedure, so you might want to search
the list (using "keyboard layout" as the key phrase might do it).  Until
that happens, however, see if setxkbmap works for you...
