I wouldn't cut off my nose to spite my face necessarily, but I would get another inspection by a different inspector. I keep going back to the 1st inspector who missed fairly obvious mold which he would have seen had he done something as simple as move the couch. My concern would be that if he missed that, what else did he miss that might be a bigger problem.
When we bought our house the inspection took 3 hours and included things like turning on all the water at the same time to see if it held water pressure bye crawled through the attic on his hands and knees looking for issues.
My gut is to have your realtor tell the seller that he knows he's either going to have to fix that window and mold issue or he's going to have disclose it in the listing. And if the current ousting doesn't say "as is" then the sale isn't "as is" and he knows that too.
What you do depends on how badly you want THIS house. Only you can make that decision. But I think I'd be getting my money back from the 1st inspector and getting a 2nd more thorough inspection.
