Yes, it would wipe all data. You should install Astro File Manager and backup all of your apps regardless. This would save you alot of time and effort in the event that you have to factory reset.
As for changing alarms, you might have the same issue with other alarms. What is happening is that since the Droid is a multitasker, it will run other programs in the background. When your alarm goes off and you are on the phone, your phone program takes priority over your alarm and the alarm just runs in the background. It's kinda like a desktop. You can play music on your pc, but you can minimize the music screen and the music will keep playing until you shut it off. I'm certain that Advanced Task Killer will cure your alarm problems. It's free on the market anyways.
