First and foremost, The Linux Documentation Project (TLDP):

http://en.tldp.org/

in particular, the guides

http://en.tldp.org/guides.html

For particular parts of Linux, look at the HOWTOs.

Hard to say.  It depends on your familiarity with other operating
systems.  It's also important to have some hands-on time with Linux.
If you don't have a spare machine on which to install Linux, you can
make your Winxx box dual-boot.  See the dual-boot HOWTO and similar
subjects in TLDP.

Probably system administration.  And of that, installation and
configuration.

Shell scripting might well be next.
