Forgive my ignorance, but if I install WordPress and later decide I don’t want to use WordPress or outgrow WordPress, what happens to all my content? Does it disappear with the uninstall? Will I have to import all my content in again?

The great thing about WordPress is that you can export XML of all your content and comments, tags and categories, etc. via Dashboard > Tools > Export. Then there are ways to import the content in other applications.

How about the other way around? What if I create a web page and decide to use WordPress after I already have content up, is it just as easy that way?

If you create a website from any of those listed in this page – http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content – there are ways and means to import the content to your WordPress installation. Although I think it’s great that you want to set up your own hosted WordPress site, why not see if WordPress works for you by getting a free account at WordPress.com. There are limitations to theme choice and plugins, but that should give you a bird’s eye view on what to expect.
