All you need to do is to select the Portuguese keyboard layout in software on Mac OS X and also select the Portuguese keyboard layout on the Windows 7 computer to which you are connecting.
You can customize the keyboard behavior in the Preferences of Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
I had the same problem using microsoft remote desktop on a mac with OSX Yosemite. My symbol keys did not work correctly, for example the \ became < and @ became *. I opened system preferences on my Mac that was running the RD client, and under keyboard I noticed that my input source was set to Canadian English. I added US English, deleted Canadian English, and restarted the remote desktop session. The special characters were typed correctly after that.

Windows uses Ctrl for operations of this type, not Command
Just Ctrl-Click to make non-contiguous selections.
Use Shift-Click to make contiguous selections.
