Yes you can edit your photos with LR on your iPhone. The screen is a bit small but yes it is doable.
You have a few options. Go to your nearest BestBuy and play with the display models and see how they feel in your hand. If you have a camera shop near by go in and look at what they have and talk to someone and sometimes they will let you even take some photos with it if you have a card with you so you can look at the photo's at home. Another great option is rent a camera from one of the online retailers like lens borrow and use it for a week and see if thats the camera for you.
If your looking for a decent point and shoot anyone of them are good. When you start getting into cameras with more features and such it really needs to be comfortable in your hands, controls easy for you to understand etc. Read reviews, check out youtube and take things with a grain of salt. There is plenty of information out their to make an informed decision.
If you tell us what you are looking for in a camera we all can help a bit better. I personally had looked at mirrorless cameras and didn't like them. Just felt wrong in my hands.
I signed up on this site a couple of days ago after stumbling upon it and would like to say hello. Looking forward to sharing and gaining knowledge from the collective.
My background is in graphic design and printing. I have been doing photography on and off since I was a kid and have really gotten back into it recently since I have been traveling more. Some of my other interests are woodworking, turning, music, travel, motorcycles and cars.

Nice photo. There is a barn by me that is right on the road like that but on a curve.
I am in the Mac camp, but you said you wanted Windows. In that case I would suggest a Surface Pro, it's lite, fast and you can use it like a tablet. But with that being said you are also going to pay more for it. These are Microsoft Spec Machines, built by or for Microsoft.
Like any computer it depends on processor, ram, hard drive speed etc. This is where I think Mac has an upper hand you get one company making the machine and everything works. Windows machines have gotten better for having less conflicts but you are not always buying the same spec machine as say Joe over here who says hey I bought I Brand X Model CQ from (insert name) and you go to (insert name) and get the same what you think Model because it is Model X CQ for a better price but the machine has different components to meet a price point. So buying a Windows box you need to read every spec to know that you are buying the same computer Joe has bought.
I can tell you that a Mac is a better all around computer, it will run Windows faster than a Windows machine and will outlive your PC. You will have less issues with it. I can tell you this from experience, I am a graphic artist by day in the corporate world and work on a Dell laptop. My personal and business computer is a iMac 27 5k with 24GB ram running Mac OS 10.12.6 and Windows 10 for a few forms design programs that won't run on Mac. I run Adobe Creative Suite on both sides and Photo Shop and Lightroom both run a bit faster in Mac OS. Windows is much stabler on the iMac.
