QUESTION: If I pick up my flame to move it, will it destroy everything I have worked on?

You can't pickup the flame altar. You can only extinguish. This will clear the building area and things will despawn. If you just need to move it, then place another one nearby and extinguish the first. I am not sure how quickly things will despawn, certainly they will go away if you re-log or leave the area for a couple of hours.

yeah like pizzabandit said; just place another flame inside the zone as centered as possible the extinguish the first. everything will remain inside the new zone

You will keep the flame level. That is shared across all flame altars.

If you upgraded the altar level with shroud cores, you will lose those when dismantling the old altar. The alchemist can make more for you, from spores and shroud liquid. Like 10 of each, so super cheap.

If you don't upgrade the new altar, you'll have a smaller building footprint (40 x 40 for a level 1 altar). If you'd already expanded past 40 x 40, you could lose anything outside the boundary unless you upgrade before you log off.
