You need to alter your boot.ini
Follow this,
Right click on My Computer, and select Properties. Now click on the Advanced tab. In a section labeled Startup and Recovery click on the button labeled Settings.
You can see the Boot options as you see after restart.
Click on Edit. The info will be opened in Notepad.
Delete the line which says Windows 7 and save it. You can also change the timeout value that is the first line Time to display list of Operating systems to 5 seconds.
Click Ok and restart and check.
I am not able to understand your second query!!!
There is another alternate way to do the above steps. That is to fix the boot. If you have the XP CD, then you can do it. If needed, will let you know the steps to it.
You can use the alternate method, only when the first steps doesnt work.

Type msconfig into Start Search box, on Boot tab remove the Win7 listing.
Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map, using SNipping Tool in Start Menu. Attach file using paper clip in Reply box.
Then we can advise you how to recover the empty space into Win7, and make sure you correctly deleted the old Win7 partition.
Please label the partitions first in Disk Mangement or explain what is in each.
msconfig>>boot.ini>>under operating system
delete a line that comes with a windows seven on it

In Disk Management, rightclick Windows 7 partition you wish to remove and Delete it.
