So Windows Vista is on my hard-drive and Ubuntu is on my USB. If I were to install Ubuntu when my USB is in, would it just fully install it on my USB or would it override windows?

    You can't install Ubuntu to the same USB drive you booted it from. On how to install to an USB drive see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16988/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-to-a-usb-key – Takkat Dec 21 '12 at 21:49

If you have Ubuntu on your USB as a Live-USB, when you start the Live session and choose to Install Ubuntu on your hard-drive you have two choices:

  1. Let Ubuntu use all your drive space (therefore, overriding Windows)
  2. Install it alongside Windows.
