NTFS works fine these days under Linux if these drives aren't your system drive. You won't have correct permissions n' stuff on the files, but you'll be able to read/write data. If these aren't files you access regularly then that might be fine.
A NAS is still a good idea if you don't have other backups of this data though. Always good to have backups.
As far as Linux distros, my only advice would be to take it easy at first. Don't let people convince you to dive too quickly into Nix/Arch/whatever esoteric thing or you might burn yourself out just trying to get basic things working. I'd advise using something common and well-supported like Ubuntu or Fedora.
