This will be two steps. Shrink partition, then move it. Gparted would let you set it up as one step, but it is done in two.

     2. fixing the installed grub so that I can still boot fedora,
        or would I have to boot a live fedora and install grub from
        live fedora?

Grub should be fine.  You don't need to do anything.

     3. adding the freed space to partition 1 so that windoze can
        see it and use it as part of it's partition 1?

Yes.

I also recommend the use of gparted from a USB live boot.
