I'm wondering if you considered using the :grep command within Vim,
which on Windows is already set up to do a findstr search by default.
It may save you some scripting headaches.

I think the quickfix list tries to make every path relative to the
current working directory. If you don't have autochdir set, and
you :cd to some directory containing none of your files (or the root
directory of whatever drive you are on will probably work), then the
quickfix list should show full paths.

I'm not sure if there are other ways to accomplish this or not.
