Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\player. There you find your character and world files. At a first glance, there is no way to tell which one is which though, since it uses some sort of hasing to create filenames. So you should look at the file creation date and also make a backup before deleting it.
Alternativly, you can open the file with notepad and have a peek inside. Your name is there on the top after the "ACK" Symbol:
My character name is Gordon, so I know this is the right file.
Yes. The game has one universe and all your characters, and their buildings, exist in the same one. Anything you build will sync on the server or PC you build it on.

You can use a cloud service like Dropbox to backup your starbound saves folder.
I would suggest not replacing the universe saves from mac to windows or viceversa because they are not compatible due to the universe seed being different.
By moving your character home you should be able to access and use it.
As your world is not moved, you will need to store what you want to bring over in your inventory. Or try to copy also the ship files
