Can Windows and Linux share a partition?

Since Ubuntu can interact with NTFS (Windows) partitions, but Windows cannot interact with EXT4 (Linux) partitions, your best option is to create an NTFS partition in that free space. First click /dev/sda4 and drag it to the right, then create another partition inside the free space.

How do I open a Windows partition in Linux?

Create a folder in /mnt directory depending upon requirement. Now map the windows partition in to the specified directory. To get the windows partitions mounted automatically during booting of Linux, make the entries of both the windows partitions in /etc/fstab file. This will mount the partitions during booting.
