I would say Winker nor Winkor but English isn’t my first language so let’s see what the consensus is for this matter.

I agree, but I’m not a native speaker either.

-ar is a person that does a thing. -er is a person that does action of a thing. A winkar in practice is a winker, but a winker isn’t necessarily a winkar.
But a winkee is definitely someone subjected to a wink, whether by a winkar or a just a normal person winking.
