Is there a way to load the DSW file for EA to then load the entire Visual C++ project?

AFAIK you can reverse engineer C++ code only from source code (header files) into EA.
There’s also a VS AddIn available: MDG Integration for Visual Studio, but that comes at extra cost.
The best way to get around the ‘spaghetti mess wiring’ is to draw diagrams for the classes of your interest manually. You can use the ‘Add related elements’ command from the (diagram) context menu of the classes you pick, this might be helpful.
Don’t expect to get into programming against a complex legacy library API just from class diagrams without further documentation, but class diagrams can be helpful though to get a bird’s view of the API structure.
