Is there a way to receive and approve in iTunes for Windows an authorization request from my kid's iPod to buy an app from the app store ?

Good day Nick,
My understanding here is that you are using Family Sharing with a young family member who wants an Ask to Buy purchase approved, and you want to know if this can be done from a Windows computer. Is that correct?
Ask to Buy purchases must be approved from a computer running Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or an iOS device such as an iPhone running iOS 8. There is no option to do so from a Windows computer. See this article for reference - Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
In particular -
Make or decline a purchase
If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device with iOS 8 or Mac with OS X Yosemite:
- Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
- Approve or decline the purchase.
- If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing.
