you will NEVER get testors glue off of windows, it etches itself into the surface and fuses together.
The paint, try some rubbing alcohol.

yup, or even a little thinner on a q-tip... just go slowly and delicately and it should come off the bumper. If you end up removing chrome, the best thing you can do is re-cover it with Bare Metal-Foil.
As far as the glue, now that I think about it I've never tried to repair testors tube glue stuck on window glass--it's always been the liquid cement stuff. Since the windows are ruined anyway I'd try the same method though--just sand it as you would if you were polishing a body panel--start with a real course grit to sand it down smoothly, try and get rid of as much of the glue as possible, then sand with increasingly finer grits up until you get into the 12000 grit polishing stuff... then try polishing it. It might turn out useable.

if you can't get it off let me know. I am working on the 57 cameo at the
present time. I chopped the roof 2 scale inches and can't use the glass in the kit. I also have and extra grill for the 55 in my parts box.

If you have (or have access to ) a polishing kit use the cloths in there.Use them just as you would use them on paint and then use the liquid polish and haze remover.Caveat:this soloution doesn't ALWAYS work but at this point you have nothing to lose.Good luck!
