When I open SC4 from the windowed exe it keeps opening in windowed mode from any launcher and I cannot figure out how to revert to full screen.

Hmm, check the game shortcut (right-click>properties) and add (or replace if there is -w) -f in 'Target' field.

You have to edit the game's shortcut. Right-click it, select properties and check the target field. It should look like this, but with your path to the game.

"C:\<PATH TO THE GAME>\SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -f -CPUCount:1

It's important to add the "-f" before all other switches, like -CPUCount or it won't work. (That's the tricky part ;-)
Same goes for windowed mode:
"C:\<PATH TO THE GAME>\SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -w -CPUCount:1

That did not appear to do anything. SC4 is now stuck in Windowed mode :/
I am assuming you intend to add "-f" to the end of the text string in the target field?
-w was not written anywhere

I should also add that the min/max toggles don't do anything other than reposition the window to the corner of the screen but does not resize the window.

Okay, DeMignon. That's a lot clearer. I'll try that. Just a sec.
