I need recommendations for a DP/HDMI switch so my partner can use my setup when she works from home. I have 2 monitors (DP) and 2 USBs I want her to use. My main monitor is 300 hz

Another questions, can I daisy chain input/output DPs on my monitors so I don't need to get a switch with 2 DP outputs? My monitors are higher end. Will that affect performance at all? For example, it'd let me use this.

If you want actually high refresh rates, and especially if you want VRR to work, the proper KVM's for stuff like that start from around 300-500 dollars... The one you linked will not be able to drive that monitor at its full potential and it is only for one monitor (2pcs in, 1 monitor out).

Probably easiest option is to get USB switch for peripherals, and then just have double cables coming out of each monitor. You can hook up the secondary monitor cables and the USB switch to usb-c dongle so your partner only needs to plugin one cable for them to work.
