You don't need IPSec for Windows ISA server compatibility, just add a
server publishing rule that forwards your OpenVPN port of choice to
the internal OpenVPN server, whether it is on CentOS or Windows doesn't
matter.

If you use a different SSL port then 443, which you will need to do if
you also publish an https: site off of ISA, then you need to run a
script that adds that port # to the list of authorized SSL ports on
the ISA server.

Also when deploying the OpenVPN client to your Windows laptops look
at using Group Policy so they are all identically installed and
configured.
