Nowhere a mere mortal can see it.  The OS maintains the list of
supported locales, and will divulge it via a certain C-level API.  But
you cannot find that list by searching files or directories, AFAIK.
As an interactive user, you can see the list in the Control Panel, but
programmatically the list is available only through that API.

Maybe, but I'm not sure a simple test for file's existence is worth
ugly system-dependent conditions.  If nothing else, it allows Windows
users to have locale translations, something that could be considered
a feature.
