>(but can White win?)

Your analysis is wrong
Qxh4 is losing against Rc7

Yace only material learned that Rc7 is winning and preferd c3
see http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?200343

I am not sure if white is winning because black has other options like 1...c3
or 1...Re8

White has a pawn advnatage but I did not prove more than it.
