Am I just missing it - can you schedule a curtain wall that us used as a window and get the height of it?

Remember, a curtain wall is still a 'wall', you can't schedule the height of a wall segment. This is because of a wall's ability to have irregular heights along its segment as shown in the attached image. As a trick, you could add a Calculated Value to a wall schedule which will divide Area/Length. (Make sure you add these fields to the schedule first!) This will give you the average height. If you filter the schedule to just the type of curtain walls you're using as windows, the height results should be pretty accurate.
