No, just back up the bookmarks that you are currently using, reinstalling windows will only delete and reinstall files for windows systems files ONLY, the programs that you installed will not be affected. Reformatting will delete totally all the files.

No if you reinstall your operating system you will not loose anything on the Internet, once you reconnect to the Internet, you will have to re-enter your account details and pass word after that you will have your home page and you just carry on from there. Although if I where you I would make a list of your favourite sites that you visit as the favourites listings will be wiped form the memory.

No, the internet will be ok - don't worry! Nothing will be affected apart from your own computer.
If you re-install your operating system and opt not to format your hard disk drive, then you also won't lose any files - only your operating system files will be replaced. Your personal documents, pictures and downloaded files will remain untouched.

everything on the PC will be returned to its basic state as if it was new. Backup any programs you use, make sure any essential files are backed up.

You can backup your bookmarks, but you will lose saved passwords and anything like that.
