No. That will wreck all sorts of havoc.

Yes. That's doable. You'd need to have a partition you can read/write
to from both, then either set your profile path in both OS's to point
to that, or on Linux, use a symlink to adjust it. You can use this for
other programs that put their user data in a separate folder.
