No, you will not lose root by flashing a rom (unless you flash an official rom from sprint/HTC).

2. Will I have to flash new radio?

No. People flash new radios either because they hope it increase their signals or because they are testing. If your radio signal is working will for you, don't flash.

3. Fix the stupid storage problems 2.2 and every version before had? Will apps utilize the 16gb card I have? I can only hope because my apps have been very problematic.

What storage issues are you talking about? If you are talking about apps utilizing your 16GB card meaning that you would like your applications installed on your SD card, you can do it in froyo or gingerbread. You do however have to do several things for this to work regardless of 2.2, 2.3, etc:
1. Partition your SD card with a ext and upgrade to ext2. You can do this in recovery mode but you need to flash Amon Ra recovery 2.3 because in my experience, clockwork recovery has issues partitioning SD cards. (This WILL WIPE your SD card so back it up)If you plan to stick to 2.3+ android, you can upgrade your ext2 to ext4. Menu in Amon Ra is easy to follow for doing this. You can google the rest but this should help you:
[Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers
2. Once your partition, you should also get an app like a2sd, I personally use ZDbox as it does everything all in one and it's free.
3. Transfer the apps you want over to your SD card. Just remember that if you connect your phone to your computer for file transfer, you will lose access to programs your transferred over until you disconnect it.
Hope that helps.
