From what you listed, the MacBook Air would be perfectly capable. You'll get more internal storage space in a MacBook Pro, and larger screen options, so you may consider that. I've never met anyone who had an Air or a Pro who didn't love it.

Do I have to buy a separate Windows for Mac program...
|
Chances are you don't need to run Windows on your Mac at all. What specifically do you think you need to do this for? I find a lot of switchers use Windows as a "crutch" and it makes it harder for them to use the Mac, so I don't recommend it, at least not at first.
However, if you're sure you're going to need it, then I'd suggest the MacBook Pro because it has the larger hard drive, which you'll need for the extra space you'll need to run Windows and its programs.

Also - can I use existing printers, USB devices or do I need to buy an adaptor/ converter to Mac.
|
Nope. They should work fine. No special drivers needed.
