Hello!
If you restored a Redo Backup from before you 'freed up' space for Linux Lite, then THAT was the way it was restored. That means you'd have to shrink your Windows partition again to install LL.
As for a Windows recovery ISO, if you have a Windows 7 install disk, you should be able to use THAT to restore a broken Windows boot loader. Once you get back in, you can use something like Magical Jelly Bean to extract the Windows product key from it.
Keep pushing on. You CAN made this work. I've done something like this numerous times...
