Answer 1

It will Show code Sign in error when you compile your application. don't worry if you deleted all things you can create again.

Answer 2

First thing is that you can create,edit or delete provisioning profile (developer,distribution) or certificates that not effected already live app(on app-store). But that effected developer provisioning profile that you are using in to your project for testing.

You can Delete all provisioning profiles and certificates. But you have to create again for testing your app in to device as well as upload new app on app-store from iTunes connect.

Answer 3

Apps already installed in devices will not be affected.

Answer 4

Live apps installed through Apple store will not be affected but builds that are installed on the device for testing or such may work. Once this happened to me on an enterprise profile but the app seemed to work even after deleting the profile from the account.
