ISO 9660 is not compression, it's a file-system. An .iso file contains a
file-system structure which programs can support directly. Probably WinRAR
(like tools such as isobuster) has built-in support for reading ISO 9660
images.
 
On Linux, one way to look into an .iso image file is to mount it
with a loop device:

  mount file.iso /mnt/somedir -o loop
