Yes As long as your Windows 7 or Windows 10 CD have their own keys then it is fine. The key that comes with Thinkpad often needs Lenovo's own CDs.

Just download the drivers from Lenovo website on a USB stick.. then install time after you install the Windows you should be golden.

No as long as you don't need anything from Ubuntu installation then you are free to delete it.

However if you have convert your Windows 7 license to 10, you might have problems activating it again, since Windows 10 license is tied to a machine and is not free floating anymore.
