Sure -- you can have seperate partitions for / and /home
Do it from fresh install using cfdisk or w/e the partitioning thing is for ubuntu (sorry :\)

Nope, but kage is spot on
Research what chipset your card has (each card buys a chipset form somewhere else so there is only really 3 or 4 drivers, atheros, prism etc)
Then search for a linux driver (if it's an atheros chipset, use madwifi drivers, prism uses prism drivers)
Then if you can't find it -- ndiswrapper will run windows driver in linux (minus some cool functions, so find a native one first)
