Yes, as of 1903 you can go in to settings>time and language>speech, and an add voices button can be found there. From the resulting dialog you can download all available voice packages.

I think she's using Mac OS, which has a native whois client in the terminal. Windows doesn't have one by default.

No, OneCore voices can only be used with Windows 10, however you might be able to get some of the voices by installing Microsoft Speech Platform, though that does not include newer voices such as Mark

This was done because many users find ESpeak to be very robotic sounding, which negatively affected people's first impression of NVDA. You'd need to copy your settings over if you want to use ESpeak N
