Jes, just to be confirmed, are you using the Windows Installer package?
or is it standalone installation where you have installed XAMPP and installing Moodle over it?
In case of Windows Installer Package, everything comes pre-set, means database and PHP ready to run moodle with configurations settings already in place.
Regarding config.php file, if you go into SERVER > MOODLE folder, you'll find config.php file there, for MySQL the port number used is 3306.
If the screen has turned blank at some point, it usually occurs when cache's get corrupted (usually happens with local moodle installation off of windows installer package), for that go into SERVER > MOODLEDATA and you'll find two folders there "cache" and "localcache", just delete them both and refresh the browser, it will re-create folders and Moodle installation will work fine.
