After changing size of Ubuntu folder (the command I used was dd, folder loop0) the kernel panicked, my Ubuntu is dead and I cannot recover it with GRUB or any recover tool (vmlinuz is not even present).

Is it possible to recover files from Ubuntu's partition while I am logged into a Windows system? I have some program to open Ubuntu's root.disc, but only "lost and found" files are listed there.

Windows doesn't natively recognize the vast majority of Ubuntu file systems so the odds of data recovery from within Windows are virtually non-existent. You do have exceptionally good odds of recovering your data booted from Ubuntu live media and utilizing advanced data recovery tools such as testdisk As outlined in numerous posts here such as:
