Yes, you'll be wiped clean.
Gmail is the simplest backup for contacts/calendar imo.
You will most likely need the recovery process. Very often rooting and staying on the stock ROM causes issues and you may not be able to use rooted apps.
You may need to flash the rooted version of stock, if not a custom ROM. It's been talked about a lot in this thread.
