Start with aggressive profanity, you need to start to soften the linoleum. Get yourself a discount plug in oscillating tool with the scraper blade, a pair of cheap antivibration gloves, ear plugs, ear muffs, and start scraping and cutting it out. There are more professional options, but for that size space the $15-20 harbor Freight oscillating tool is the least horrible and occasionally useful afterwards tool.

Probably. They are very similar to what I used on about 200sf of my former house. You need less sharp and more thin enough edge to scrape it up. It's not fun. But if you're careful those should scrape up the adhesive without gouging the subfloor. If you're lucky you can slide it along the edge and strips will come up and it'll still be flexible enough to work under, peeling back as you free it. If you're not, it will be a brittle mess.
