First of all this thread should be in Open Source Section.

1) Google for "Fedora Installation Guide" you will get many. And as you have experience of installing ubuntu, fedora won't be a daunting task. It has an great installer.

2) I did not get the question. Do you want to say how to run those apps in linux or are you searching for linux alternatives of those apps? You can run windows apps in linux via Wine or Crossover. Google to get these softwares.

3) Empty any of the partition & assign it as root when you install fedora. You can have a seperate partition for /home & also one for swap.
