“Can this be used to backup to time machine as well as backup to a windows computer? I understand I can use it under both OS since the drive is formatted as ExFAT. But would this have to be reformatted to be used for time machine?”

Hi Katelyn, Please know Time Machine can't back up to an iOS device or disk formatted for Windows. And if your disk uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition scheme, some of its partitions might not be available for use with Time Machine.
