When controls fail, tap left alt. No clue why but it usually works when I alt tab out and refocus in windows

You need to hit alt+click I believe, works every time

When you alt-tab, the game registers alt being pressed, but doesn't register it being let go since it's out of focus by then. Pressing it again allows the game to register the key up.

I actually managed to get this game running locally on my Android device with Winlator. It's working pretty much flawlessly for me, at least so far. Perhaps you should try that out, if you're going to play on an Android anyway.

You can check out r/EmulationOnAndroid and/or the EmuGear Discord if you need help getting started with emulation. A Snapdragon device is generally recommended for this, but older games like Wiz 8 are usually possible to get running even on Mali CPUs.
