I would delete the first two partitions and put a new partition there to use as /home. Then expand / where /home was.
It’s easy to expand a partition towards the end of the disk. I would not recommend expanding one towards the start of the disk. That would have to move all of the data. It’s slow and much more likely to cause problems.
I wouldn’t suggest messing with a boot partition unless you are comfortable using a live boot disk to reinstall the bootloader if something goes wrong.

Yes, that looks safe enough. I am not sure what I would do with a 300GB / though. Isn’t that wasted space?
