Anyway to download or share someone's video/picture status?
Search through your folders, when you find the folder is stored in as long as you move it to a different folder it won't get auto deleted

As a standalone? Not really.
To mirror your phone? Yes.

Yes, but it needs to be running on a phone too at the same time.

As already said in this thread, the whatsapp app isn't installable as a standalone app on a windows PC. It's either installing the Android app in an android emulator (which hogs a ton of resources of your PC), or installing the whatsapp thing that mirrors your whatsapp while it's actually running on a smartphone.
