M-x org-version

No. I never compile the sources.

Add this to your .emacs file (adjust the path):
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:org-mode/lisp/")
This way, the sources of the downloaded Org-mode will be found before
the ones that come with emacs.

Yes. You'd need to adjust this line:
;; Customize:
(setq my/org-lisp-directory "~/.emacs.d/org/lisp")

No need for parameters, ones the path is adjusted (item 3.).

Just change this line
(setq my/org-compile-sources t)
to this:
(setq my/org-compile-sources nil)
if you do not want to compile the sources.

M-x my/compile-org RET
That's it.
