Do I lose everything by switching roms with unlocked bootloader?

Yes. Best practice is to wipe data everytime you switch to a different ROM, but not to different versions of the same ROM. However, before I change ROMs, I always make a back up in CWM incase I want to go back, returns the phone to the exact state you left it in before the new install.

Yes new ROMs normally do fix the tethering restraint, but I have been having issues with it on GPA 19 for some reason.

depends on what you mean by lose. You can get a program called titanium back, and several others (like sms backup) and you can pretty much have your rom setup exactly as it was. I always do a titanium backup, sms backup, and if i am on an MIUI rom, i use their built in backup. but i have not lost anything in a very long time. And, i can flash and be back up to 100% in 10 min!

I back up everything. No need to lose anything.
