Depending on your experience with computers, installing Ubuntu should be anywhere from extremely easy to moderately difficult. The installation should be easy; simply download the .iso file, burn it on to a disc, boot from the disc, and follow the instructions. What is slightly difficult, however, is getting everything to work with the new operating system. You may need to download drivers, change settings, etc. to get everything to work right.

No. It is entirely possible to install and run Ubuntu on a computer without ever having run Windows on it.
Ubuntu generally creates a different partition on your hard drive, formatted with the EXT4 filesystem. Therefore, without special software, you cannot access your files on Ubuntu from Windows. However, you can access your Windows files from Ubuntu without any trouble. When Ubuntu is installed, you get to choose whether to boot into Ubuntu or Windows when the computer turns on. That means that you cannot be actively logged into both Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer. However, you can install Ubuntu on a virtual machine, making the computer run Ubuntu inside an emulator in Windows. This makes it possible to run Ubuntu while you are logged into Windows. I do not recommend it, though. Ubuntu users and Windows users are in different operating systems, so you cannot just switch between them like you can in Windows accounts.
Ubuntu is safe. The majority of viruses and other malware on the internet are written for windows, so they wouldn't affect an Ubuntu computer. However, ubuntu is less user friendly than windows, so I would be careful and make sure you have a good backup for your windows computer.
A simple explanation of Ubuntu and how to back up a computer for lay person is that Ubuntu is a free linux operating system. Backing up a computer is simply making a copy of the data contained on the hard drive in case of hardware failure or system crash.
