How much does the Eiffel tower sway in the high winds?
The Eiffel tower does not sway in the wind at all. It is very big, very tall, and very,very, strong.
The observatory at the top of the Eiffel tower noted a record movement of 13 cm during the tempest of December 1999 (under winds of 240 km/h).
The Eiffel does not, or practically not, move in the wind. Its lattice structure allows for minimal wind pressure, which Eiffel engineers had to kept under a 70 centimetres total amplitude at the summit. That never was the case, and according to the tower's observatory, the greatest amplitude ever recorded at the top was 13 centimetres (5.11 inches) in the strongest winds recorded (240 km/h - 149.12 miles/hour) in the December 1999 tempest.
It sways 7cm when its windy, and 11cm in a wind storm.

To the best of my knowledge it is a self-supporting tower ( of Iron, not modern Steel) and the only cables would be those for radio and TV transmission ( from the top) and of course the elevators, which are open-frame commoner in Europe than in the US. Not for the Acrophobe- you see the ascent in full view- unlike opaque elevators in most office buildings in US.

The problem here is that Montmartre (the hill itself) doesn't have a metro station. You need to walk down the hill to ANVERS. Then 2 stops on line 2 direction NATION brings you to LA CHAPELLE, from which station a moving pavement takes you through a tunnel to Gare du Nord. Actually, it's probably simpler to walk the whole way!

Paris sits in the middle of a area where twelve million persons are living. Road congestion, bloated public transportation may happen.
