As far as just the language is concerned, C is the most cross-platform language in the world. The code libraries you'll use will probably be different on Windows, but C is kind of the standard in programming languages.

You get Cocoa when you install OS X — it's part of the system. And OS X also includes an installer for the Xcode developer tools.

If you're running a preinstalled system, the installer should be in /Applications/Installers, I think. Otherwise, it should be on your install DVD. You can download a more recent version, though, from connect.apple.com (you'll have to create a free account, but Apple won't spam you or anything).

C is generally universal, but Cocoa is heavily designed around and is easiest to use with Objective C. Learning C is a good start, though, as many of the same basic constructs and methodologies are carried over.

You would be better off learning Cocoa than Carbon. Interface Builder does a lot more for Cocoa programs than Carbon programs so you have to write less code. You'll also find more Cocoa programmers that can help you.
If you still want to use Carbon, you're going to have to learn it. Knowing the basics of C isn't going to teach you how to implement the drop down box or how to get the sum to show up in the text field in the box. GUI programming isn't easy, which is why most schools start with programming simple command-line programs. To learn Carbon you're going to have to read Apple's documentation. If you did a standard install of Xcode, the developer documentation should be available by choosing Help > Documentation. In the Search Groups section, select Carbon to open the Carbon developer documentation. Click the Getting Started link and work through the material in the Getting Started section.
