  <xsl:variable name="Test-Input" select="ms:node-set($Input)"/>

I'm surprised that you need to do that (or even that it's allowed)
in most implementations a node-set() extension function can only be
applied to a result tree fragment (converting it into a node set)
and result tree fragments are only generated by xsl:variable without a
select argument.

I don't have the .net xslt but I'd have thought that a parameter would
have been a node set (or a string).

I would guess that you have bound the input parameter to the top level
element rather than the root node so $input is root
so $input/root is looking for
<root> 
  <root>
which is empty and you want
$input/something

Why not use teTh document() function rather relying on the
system-specific mapping of DOM nodes to xpath node sets?
