Assume it is a rectangular window (why?)

Suppose the width is L feet.

Then the width is L + 3 feet (Odd, because normally Length is the larger of the two)

So Perimeter is 2(Length + Width)

ie 38 = 2*(L + L+3)

19 = 2L + 3

16 = 2L

L = 8

and then L + 3 = 11

So the window is 8 feet long and 11 feet wide.

What is the length and width if the perimeter is 168?

You can't tell the dimensions from the perimeter. There are an infinite number of rectangles, with different dimensions, that all have the same perimeter. If it's 168, then the only thing you can be sure of is that the length and width add up to 84, but you can't tell what either of those dimensions must be.
