During the install of Ubuntu, you should have been given the option to resize the Windows partition, and then install Ubuntu in what was left.
Did that happen and did you do that?

If not, then it probably used the 'whole disk'. In which case your Windows install is gone.

Yes. You can only switch between the OS's when you reboot.
