Unlocking the bootloader and writing a full firmware image usually wipe the phone. Back up anything you would miss before you start, and keep a PC and a cable nearby in case a bootloop needs fixing.
Not always. The free Rom Flasher tool runs on a second Android phone joined by a USB-OTG cable, and drives fastboot, recovery and sideloading from there. Some jobs — unlocking a bootloader, for example — still go through the manufacturer's own tool on a PC.
