Answer 1

The official NodeJS docker image only publishes Linux containers. There are no available images for Windows OS in any architecture.

You will have to either use a different image built for Windows or enable Linux container virtualization on your host ("switch to linux containers") -- but keep in mind you won't be able to pull Windows images while the daemon is configured for Linux containers.
