I've had similar problems (odd power window operation and a CEL) when I've had a low battery (i.e. car was in for convertible top replacement, operated it all day).

I found that charging the battery overnight had the windows operating normally. I cleared the CEL code (a MAF code if I remember correctly), and it hasn't reoccurred since.

Might be worth checking the battery voltage with a multi-meter?

My windows dropped and wouldn't raise when my top's center latch microswitch went out. It's the switch located under the pressure plate where the hook goes in.

Open your top, have a friend poke their finger up in the hole and hold it, turn on your ignition, and see if you can raise your windows.
