Providing the external drive is FireWire you should have no problem.
Rather then needing Outlook to back up your mail,
with Leopard, just go back a tad in Time Machine and grab the errant mail message.

You can do it, but you will need to create a separate partition for Tiger. Traditionally this means re-initializing (erasing) the entire disk, but I've heard Leopard lets you repartition WITHOUT erasing anything.

If erasing everything is not an option and Leopard does not in fact allow this, you can also use VolumeWorks.
