You should be able to reinstall only Windows. But back up your files first just to be sure.

You may need to reinstall your bootloader afterward, though.

No problem, in general. Just make sure you don't accidentally format your Linux partition(s) as Windows doesn't recognize them. And you'll definitely will have to reinstall Grub, as Windows installs it's own bootloader no matter what.
