Is this strong enough to take out windows?
It's more likely if something like a branch gets blown into the window, less likely from 70 mph wind alone.
Should windows be taped? Plywood?
Depends on how much loose debris you might have blowing around in your yard and neighborhood.
Will wind affect all sides of the house or mainly windward side?
All sides if it's a hurricane. The storm spins counterclockwise so depending on where you are in the path, which side of the eye you're on, the wind can blow in different directions at the beginning, middle and end of the storm as it passes over you.
Should rain-protected doors be left open or closed?
Closed. It reduces upward pressure on your roof.
