Do you have ntfs.mod there?
Do you have multiboot.mod there?

If you have ntfs but not multiboot, then it should be a simple matter
of copying multiboot.mod (from your /boot/grub inside the loopback, or
from /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/multiboot.mod). If you don't even have
ntfs.mod there, then back to square one, ask wubi maintainers.

The key word there being "does not want".
Resizing partition is easy and non destructive (you can use gparted
from sysrescuecd or any other tools that support shrinking
partitions).

If you "do not want" to do the suggestions, then many people on this
list will not want to help you. It's as simple as that.

It should work. You can only create PV domUs, but it should be enough
to do some tests.
