No, Steam is not attached to your computer so you can freely uninstall it and reinstall it but without it being installed you cannot play your games. Everything is saved online.

When you reinstall Steam every game will be uninstalled, just click on them twice and they should start downloading immediately. All information (achievements, etc.) will still be there.

Will the things I downloaded like huds or hit sounds reinstall? I don't want them back.

That I do not know, I would say yes. If you're resetting your whole entire PC then it will delete it unless it's connected to your actual steam account which I would think unlikely
