I've backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

Most of them can be transferred over as is. For games that have a Linux version Steam will download the Linux stuff. But usually all the assets take up most of the space and those are normally shared between all versions of a game.
