Yes, and yes. (I'm guessing PM can handle the partitions, when I had
it, way back when, it was able to handle the standard Linux partitions
of that time.
You will also be able to enlarge it with gparted, a similar tool in
Ubuntu.
Enlarging is easier (and quicker) than shrinking. Before shrinking the
Windows partition (when you're ready to do so), be sure to scan and
defrag, and back up what you really need.

Riley: Way I heard it. You were all peaceable now. You didn't by
any chance go and lose that pesky soul again, did you?
Angel: Don't push me, boy.
Riley: Now what possibly could've happened with Buffy that would
make you lose your soul?
Angel: That'd be between me and her.
Riley: Where do you think you're going?
Angel: Going to see an old girlfriend.
