I want to try out a new template, but I'm afraid of messing up the content and layout of my current template. If I switch to a different template and then switch back, will everything still be in the same place?

This is an issue. As all templates are different, you won't necessarily have the same module positions, and even if you do, each template provider tends to have a different naming convention. So your current template might have a position called "right", but the new template might call right positioned content "sidebar-a". So when you select the new template, you would need to change each module that previous was assigned to "right" to "sidebar-a". You don't lose anything you've created, but you do have to do a bit of work to get everything working with the new template.
