Should I log in as root even though I'll be using it as user?

You need to be logged in as root since you will be mv'ing and cp'ing /home. You can't mv the directory if it's in use (ie if you log in with your normal user id) - or at least that isn't a very good idea.

Can I use the YAST2 Partitioner program for this? If I don't have enough room, how can I change my NTFS partition of the hard drive to Linux?

Sorry, don't know the answer to these. I expect the answer to the first Q is no, and for the other Q someone else will have to pipe up.
