I already tried to run it in a Windows Container, but gitea will just Exit without any error logged, git client was up and running inside the Container.

Is a windows Container supported at all and is there any guidance how to do it right?

Probably only if there is some contributor who is willing to add a PR. But I guess for most users niche features like a Windows Container won't have any priority at all. Especially since it comes with the disadvantage that you have to pay for licensing stuff (for customers and builds). It is much easier to spin up some kind of GNU/Linux distribution in a Windows VM. Or maybe use the Linux Subsystem. Many modern development tools are natively running in *NIX environments anyway, so I guess it would make sense to have a Linux Subsystem/VM available for those cases.

So my guess is, that no Windows Container support will be available unless you add it.

Also to build windows containers we would need windows server to run drone agent on
