"Mode?" They're two separate operating systems. If you're in a dual-boot, you simply reboot and select Windows instead of Linux from the boot menu.

Why can't you install Windows after Linux?

You can. But the Windows installation does not put an entry into it's boot menu, so you have to manually copy a boot sector, and modify the boot menu so you can boot Linux. Linux distributions expect that you may want to dual-boot, so they detect Windows and set up an option for it automatically. For convenience's sake, it is far easier to install Windows first.

Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things.
