PropertyField will display arrays correctly. You have to set the parameter "showChildren" to true.

 public class MyEditorWindow : EditorWindow
 {
     [MenuItem("Window/My Editor Window")]
     public static void ShowWindow()
     {
         GetWindow<MyEditorWindow >();
     }
 
     public string[] Strings = { "Larry", "Curly", "Moe" };
     
     void OnGUI()
     {
         // "target" can be any class derrived from ScriptableObject 
         // (could be EditorWindow, MonoBehaviour, etc)
         ScriptableObject target = this;
         SerializedObject so = new SerializedObject(target);
         SerializedProperty stringsProperty = so.FindProperty("Strings");
 
         EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(stringsProperty, true); // True means show children
         so.ApplyModifiedProperties(); // Remember to apply modified properties
     }
 }

Is there a way to display an object which is not declared inside and not derived from the ScriptableObject?

Yes, you can declare an array within the EditorWindow class and create a serialized object for it just like you would create one for a serialized object.

 public class SceneSearchTool : EditorWindow {
 
     public string[] strings;
 
     private SerializedObject so;
     private SerializedProperty stringsProp;
 
     public void OnGUI()
     {
         EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(stringsProp, true);
         so.ApplyModifiedProperties();
     }
 
     private void OnEnable()
     {
         so = new SerializedObject(this);
         stringsProp= so.FindProperty("strings");
     }
 }
