Are you using CVSNT on the XP machine?  It looks like you're running the 
CYGWIN version of CVS, which doesn't understand SSPI.  The CVSNT CVS 
server on XP is a native client, so it doesn't require CYGWIN to run.

To directly answer your questions:

A windows account with permission to access the repository.

Yes.  Use your password for the windows account.

Nope.

Here's an example that works for me:
	cvs -d :sspi:gstarret at glen:/test login
	cvs -d :sspi:gstarret at glen:/test ls
