there is a synctex-enabled build of sumatra available here
http://william.famille-blum.org/software/sumatra/index.html
the command line for the tex editor can either be set via
switch or via an option in Sumatra's config dialog.

many applications (such as texniccenter or texmaker) accomplish this
by allowing only one instance and looking at command line switches

As you are saying yourself, Sumatra is Windows-specific, so no. I'd
rather use an external editor or have poppler refined in its 'rough
edges'
