Congrats on trying out Linux, it will be an adventure.
Your questions in order
(1) Fan Control: You will need to determine if you current hardware is supported via utilities available for the linux environment. There will be a lot of RTFM'ing required and it may be above the level of 'adventure' you would like to go on at this point. I would recommend / echo looking at what the bios has to offer for fan control or setting up an external fan controller.
(2) GPU and CPU temps: Yes! I'm surprised to not see a conky recommendation in the thread. Conky reports back to the user information that can be found in the system via the command line (again RTFM :) ). Here is an image of my current conky set up while I'm compressing some files to toss on freeNAS notice the heat on the CPU. The GPU portion is sparse because I'm waiting on a GTX 950 to get to the house to configure:
Here is said conky config displayed in the top right of the screen:

(3) The NTFS windows share. That has been addressed.
Good luck and have fun!
