If I copy the Ubuntu install files to USB in order to install on another PC, will it reformat (i.e. delete) everything on that USB drive? Or will it still function as before and all previous files remain on it?

If you want to make a LiveUSB to install from then no, the existing files will not be deleted by the "startup disk creator" program. The USB stick will already need to be formatted as FAT however, the partition table will need to acceptible to the program, and there will need to be enough room for the iso and a persistence file if you want one.
Other USB boot device creators may work differently.

No, no other action should take place but the one you're requesting your PC to do, copy files.
