Is there any chance they will continue to grow if I bring them indoors
when it gets cold? I don't have a conservatory, unfortunately, but I do have
a south-facing kitchen window. I'm in Ramsgate, Kent, and we don't get
tremendously cold winters.

I have no experience of growing, but lots of experience eating. I'm sure you could overwinter indoors as long as it got lots of light but Tamarinds grow into huge trees. I expect it would get too big very quickly. I think some varieties get up to 80'. Its great fun to grow them though even if they may have to be abandoned in the end. I shall have a go myself next time I get hold of some seeds. Its pretty foliage too I seem to remember.
