Do disk management from windows/mac side first always. Windows does some weird stuff with their memory management (like unmovable files). So it’s easy to accidentally break stuff if you were to partition from Linux. I think Mac is slightly safer but they also have some weird stuff that’s a lot easier to use their partition tools to shrink and partition. Then during install you can rewrite the partitions file system to be more Linux friendly (e.g. ext4, btrfs, etc)
As far as file sharing I have a separate disk that is FAT32 formatted but that’s just because I was hyper paranoid, NTFS works fine and has been in the Linux kernel for some time now. Mostly I did this so I could share the same steam library between my Linux and windows partitions so I didn’t have to install everything twice. External drives also work very well but I think it’s better for a back up rather than day to day. Also you can mount your windows partition directly in Linux so there’s really no need to have a 3rd partition for sharing
