Having done simple HTML websites in the past, I can tell you that it's
not just Internet Explorer that mishandles websites. Almost every
browser and operating system combination there is behaves differently
in some way, making website design a pain in the backside - once you
get something "working" in one browser, another starts showing up
problems.   :-\

I don't recall named anchors being one of the problems I ever came
across though. It could potentially be caused by font differences
causing a reflow of the website's text and shifting the anchor.

Internet Explorer is free. 

Windoze depends on which of the multitude of versions you want to use -
the cheapest being one of the "home user" versions. Best to check an
online store like Amazon or a big local computer store.

As someone else mentioned, you can (or used to?) buy a bundle with
Windoze coming with Fusion and Parallels.
