If i reflash the same rom on top of the other do i have to perform a wipe? And if i dont do a wipe will i lose my apps and data during the process?

No wipe would be needed and your data would be safe. I'd recommended wiping cache/dalvik as well.

Is there a way after installing a ROM to wipe the system app data?

What is recommended when flashing mods on roms I've heard wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, or do I wipe both. Thanks

Just flash em through Rom manager. It will have wipe dalvik cache ticked. I always run Cachemate and fast reboot after.

Before and After don't hurt

Don't wipe anything for a modem flash. Totally unnecessary.
When restoring a backup from ics to jb or from jb to ics through cwm recovery, should I wipe cache/dalvik or factory in between, or does the back up overwrite things in a manner maikng it unnecessary?

I think you should always wipe cache and dalvik. It will not hurt anything and can only prevent problems.
When you are switching from JB to ICS you may also need to wipe data (unless you are restoring data that was backed up with ICS).
The backup will only wipe/restore what was included in the backup.
Thank you, good to know!

I want to format my phone to clean all the crap files iv accumulated. If I format through twrp, will it just reinstall the current rom I'm running? Did this before on my s4, just want to make sure. Thanks guys

Like internal storage you meant? I always do that on top of cache and dalvik wipe to get a full clean install and no trace of previous rom. To be on safe side always have nand backup when doing that.

Yeah like if I go to wipe, then select all except system or that also?

Factory reset, advance wipe, then I wipe cache, dalvik, system, data and internal storage. I have all my back ups in external card including copy of titanium backup for data. Then I flash any custom rom.
