I doubt it. These things are usually self-contained. Do you have any linux boot files on sda1?

I'm kind of nervous installing LILO on that part of my harddrive because of a fear that I won't be able to log into vista again. Is that the case?

No.

What do I select when choosing a LILO Destination? A Root, or MBR?

mbr is usual - though there is a lot more grub about these days.

I think it's the most critical part of the installation and I don't want to mess it up.
Any insight you can add for me?

Well you can relax - in the worst case, you can just rescue Vista.
(In the best case - Vista will be completely erased ...
)
