You'll want to run node as a Windows Service. Services start right after boot, before login.
As far as launching the standalone app, the answer depends on what it is. If it's a GUI app, you'll need to configure Windows to automatically log in, then you can just put it in the Startup folder. If it doesn't have a GUI, you can just use child_process to spawn the app from node.
