"47 new trains". Is that an equal, smaller or larger number than the
current Victoria Line fleet?

Unfortunately it lacks the 92 stock's curved windows, so you won't be able
to tip your head back and look at the clouds... ;-)

On the Victoria?

The side windows seem very small indeed, a return to more of a 'padded cell'
concept perhaps?

Seriously though, those windows are very small. They look like they
might be small enough to make it a bit tricky to see what station
you're at.

I'm more concerned about how that car that's about to hit the driver's
cab got into the station. :-)

I'm not sure. Because there are two windows between the doors on most
Tube stock, and there is only one here, I'm more inclined to think
they are long (horizontally) rather than narrow (vertically) - unless
these vehicles are noticeably shorter than the current ones.

I don't think they are very different from 1995 or 1996 stock (not that
I'm a great fan of them). Compare with this photo of a 95 at Morden:

The artist's view of the new Vic stock simulates a wide-angle lens,
accentuating the front and making the side windows look smaller.

Page 6 of the above-mentioned Bombardier pages has some interior shots. Lots of
space for adverts above the windows, but also what looks like full-width
passageways between carriages. With so many seats removed, it looks very
spacious indeed. It mentions the carriages are for Bakerloo-Victoria-Central.
