You should always consider the possibility of data loss, especially when you are making changes to partitions or adding/removing operating systems. Always make backups!

If you install Ubuntu instead of Windows 7, everything on Windows 7 will be deleted.

If you install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7, the data should be retained.

FYI: Windows 7 reached End Of Life in January 2020. This OS is no longer safe to use and must be replaced with an operating system that still receives security updates.

It depends! If you are replacing Windows 7, Then yes! If you are dual booting, Then no!
