What you installed on Windows doesn't matter to Linux (or for that matter, to another Windows installation).

Yes

No, you need not uninstall MS Office. Yes, most files should open fine in LibreOffice.

Yes

Yes

If you use Steam on Wine, you should be able to use the library you already have downloaded, but that has it's own set of problems, and for a game that does support Linux, isn't worth it.

Think of it as reinstalling Windows. How many of these questions would have the same answer?
