HOME, PS2, PS4 -- 'man bash'
LANG -- info gettext
CYGWIN -- cygwin user manual.
all those variables belong to different programs -- shells, cygwin
kernel, various support libraries, so asking for their list is like
asking "where can i find a list of all system registry settings for
windows" -- i doubt anyone have such list.

i believe only "CYGWIN" is the one that supposed to be tweaked by user.
the two exceptions are "HOME", which is used when emulating nonexistent
/etc/passwd file, and "TZ", used if you want to specify time zone
different from windows default.
