1. For just XBMC I'd recommend +5GB for Ubuntu minimal installation.
2. It will get overwritten, sadly. You might want to look into the files that get modded and maybe write a small routine that adds the mod after updating the skin.
3. XBMC automatically loads at linux boot with my script. If you meant the selection at the GRUB boot menu, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Move the linux item to the top of the list and set the time-out for user interaction. If you have edited this file correctly it will load linux as first boot. For windows perform the steps with the windows partition on top of the list.
Good luck,
Dennis
