#1: Yes

Use Partition Magic. It'll resize your partition. WARNING: It usually goes smoothly, but you should backup your data first.

Another option is you can use Norton Ghost if you already have a copy of that. Use Ghost to copy the partition to an image file on another drive or to CD. Then fdisk the drive as one partition. Then use Ghost to restore the partition from the image file and when it prompts you, make sure to specify the size you want to make the new partition.

#2 - Yes

Power Quest Lost and Found can recover an Fdisked or formatted partition.
