Tutorials or "hands on" learning?
as for my 2D engine I am using Stencyl as it has a way to use blocks for programming and you could write out the code if you wanted to, it can create games that can be put in market places as well.

People in the gamedev industry, how helpful are gamedev courses in university?
Stencyl is a really easy game engine to use. https://www.stencyl.com/ you can probably bang out a few quick games with it as you follow their tutorials.

Where to start after scratch. (10 year old).
Stencyl! Build on Scratch but way more capable.

what engine to use?
For an easy start in game developing, I would suggest to try GDevelop or Stencyl. Both are an easy option to start from 0. Once you get a grasp on programming logic and how to do some basic things, you can move to other engines if you want to do things in 3D.

I've been palying this game called Shatter, and i didnt recognise the engine it credited in the logos at the start... I then did some digging and couldnt find anything about it.
Never heard of stencil.. but I have heard of stencyl. Maybe it is a variation of it?

I'm a BAFTA nominated writer for video games, ask me anything!
If you're not the sociable type (you'll have to work on that because game making is first and foremost team work, but I understand it might be hard if you feel like you're not skilled enough), a lot of solutions exist to easily make your own games on your own, like Stencyl, or Adventure Game Studio. They'll barely require any technical knowledge, but if you really want to focus on writing, then you can even go with text-only tools such as Twine or Ink/Inky.

rewriting a java project to C++, a bit lost on something.
As for windows, you'd probably be alright looking into SFML, you can see their Getting Started tutorial for how to install it in your IDE of choice.
