If you want to have minimum window 1, why don't you have this as part of you newLimit calculation? For example,
double newLimit = std::max (1.0, faceLimits->GetCurrentLimit() - 1); //cannot be less than 1
If it is something undesirable, you have to have some what to increase window from 0 (which means that no Interests are allowed to be send out at all).

This is a little bit wrong. Face is not aggregated to a Node object. You need a little bit different syntax (see more here: http://ndnsim.net/doxygen/classns3_1_1ndn_1_1_net_device_face.html) if you want to get node id:
uint32_t nodeId = inFace->GetNode ()->GetId ()
