I think I've installed all the drivers, but the clipboard only syncs from host to guest. How do I enable guest to host clipboard sharing?

Kdeconnect has such feature, It has windows builds. On gnome use Gsconnect.

Or rdp. On windows enable remote desktop, on linux install an rdp client, I use Remmina

vnc or rdp or something else?

For a Windows guest, I'd access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it's probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).
