I find libgretl.h and libgretl.dll in gretl source, so my goal is

I need to first compile gretl source with MinGW, then
use Microsoft LIB tool to convert the generated .a file into .lib
file so it can be used in MSVS [...]
That's the route if you're building gretl with mingw, but it ought
to be possible to build with the Microsoft C compiler (in which case
you'd presumably get a .lib import library by default, along with
the libgretl DLL).
Nobody in the gretl team has tried that, but I suppose it's just a
matter of creating the right nmake file or "project" file; the
mingw-oriented Makefile should provide a basis.
