I can name one Windows editor: WadAuthor.  The catch is that this is
shareware.   

You could take a look at ZETH, which is liked from here:
http://zdoom.org/download.html

For managing textures and other lumps, you can go with WinTex (which may or
may not require DeuTex.)  

(BTW, I wouldn't bother converting something between the Doom/Doom2 format.
It's not too hard to find copies of the collector's edition and run it from
there.)
