Absolutely. (Providing that it knows your file system. I have never heard of Linux not recognising a file system before, it came to mind when I was authoring this reply.)

It will most definately boot slower, but if you have a lot of RAM, it should be responsive enough. This is just a hypothesis, I have never booted Linux from CD.
It is not hard to install Mandriva into an environment which already has Windows installed. A bootloader for dual booting is automatically setup for you.
