I wouldn't say you lose it, you'd just lose the ability to boot to it w/o a
boot floppy. However - if you use said boot floppy or a boot CD, you can
rerun grub-install and restore GRUB as your bootloader. Then add the
appropriate lines to grub in order to boot Windows as well.

However he is correct. I'd install Windows first, then Linux after in order
to have this done for you by anaconda.

As far as settings - retain a copy of /etc, /home, and /var and you should
be in decent shape. If you've got custom programs, grab pieces of /usr or
/usr/local as well as needed.
