You want to create a dedicated Linux partition without installing an operating system. You’ll need to format the partition properly before using it for Ubuntu or another Linux distribution.

Which operating system is active? For Linux setups—whether live USB or installed—I prefer gparted as my preferred utility.

Yes, you can customize the partition settings within the Ubuntu installer itself. You don't necessarily need external tools.

You're able to handle it via the live USB or during installation—yes. After setup, you can use the provided utility at your convenience. It functions similarly to Disk Management in Windows, though with enhanced capabilities.

You can work around a GUI by using tools like fdisk, gdisk or parted to create partitions, then apply mkfs to format them.

Was this included with the operating system? I wasn't able to locate it in the OS.

It's quite interesting. With Ubuntu, the live CD is included by default, but after installation it's removed. You can still add it later via the software center or command line—probably with `sudo apt-get install gparted`.
