Assuming you installed using the installer, rather than using the
non-installer .zip and creating the service etc yourself, then removing
PostgreSQL using the add/remove programs should be all that is required.

A port scan is the wrong tool for the job.
Use the operating system's built in "netstat" command to show listening
ports. You can use it via cmd.exe. Search the Internet and read the
built-in help (start with "netstat /?") for more information if you have
trouble.

That is not necessary.

So edit postgresql.conf and change the port the server uses to port
5432, then restart the service. Not hard.
postgresql.conf lives in a subdirectory of the directory you installed
PostgreSQL in. If you use PgAdmin III you can open postgresql.conf via
its menus - it's under "Tools" -> "Server Configuration".
