can I increase Linux partition without reinstalling it? I've got disk C in windows, which is 10Gb, where I have windows, My documents and Program Files. So I will be able to squeeze it, moving My Docs to D or E.... Or maybe I should try to install Linux to D or E?

best way to deal wit space problems is to reserve some space in another partition to keep your data on.
Partinioning is a whole world by itself.
Most people swiitching from Windows to Linus just are at the start of a new world.
Linux only is one of around 80 flavors of uix.
All unixes know people have Windows partitions and try to cope with.
You have to get used to hop between Linus flavors, if not Unix flavors.
There is no rule, but to try keeping the different OSes in their own partition and try to keep your data in one, readeable by most, unfortunately, vfat partition.
You'll learn, very fast, how to read your ex-windows data on any OS.

Your windows My Documents are plain DOS assign or join links. Windows is unbelievable unclear about this. You can "join" these fake folders uner Linux. Don't give up, needs some acquaintance with the system. Pure samba can help. ut no one said it is an easy task. The only question is: are you willing to take the time learning the system in order to take control of what you want o do. Don't give up: takes time to get over Windows "user friendly" interface.
