If you have LOS it will work. Don't know about anything to mount to a window. A bucket w/concrete and pole would take up less space than a tripod. 
I recommend that you discuss any "outside" options that you consider with the apartment management. I've been through some interesting and not-so-fun experiences with my management and I wouldn't care to repeat them. Just a friendly FYI
It really depends on the type of glass in the window. If its older non-insulated type it only reduces signal a bit, but it its the new glass with metals in the glass (gold colored or UV protectant, etc.) it will probably block the signal.
I have seen installations where the dish was pointed through the window work with only degraded signal strength, just be aware that if you have problems with it and do not have any outside mounting options or managements permission your on your own. Internal techs won't touch it without either of the two things I just mentioned.
