Places > Home > File System > double click on Home folder then right-click on the user's folder to be copied then paste it into the drive you want it to go to.
If you want to create a separate /home partition, here's how: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome

I'm not sure but think it may baulk at having a windows file system.
One way to find out is give it a go.

Fat32 should be fine as Linux has native support for it, NTFS I'm not sure about, so long as you have the required ntfs-3g etc. packages installed it might work.
You can make Windows work with ext2 and ext3: http://www.fs-driver.org/
