I'm out of rack space for another drive but I guess I can try on a portable one.

Would steam be able to see my existing games or do I have to redownload them?

Your windows drive would be fine, Linux side you'd need to download then again.

You can run games from your windows drives but it's better not to, it can cause weird issues because of the way files are stored (case sensitive vs insensitive, permissions etc.)
