What kind of insect is that in the picture? Is it a type of bedbug? Why do they come to house walls/windows?

This is certainly one of the leather/sand bugs, namely the American pine bug

They don't stab and bite us, don't worry about anything in the household, they're just annoying. The secret they secrete doesn't smell as bad as the tree bug. They are harmless to us, even to animals.

Yes, they want to winter in a dry place. It's fire bugs with me.

Yeah, it's one of the bugs, and they're happy to come in. Especially in the summer, when in the dark, what is open and light. You think it's a helicopter in the building. Maybe not touching with mere hands, bugging her defense is stench, and you don't get it that easy again.
