What happens to all my pictures if I delete the Dropbox app from my iPhone?
Will I lose all my pictures if I delete the app on my iPhone?

That just means it will delete the local data for that application, not your files, etc. Any app that you delete from your phone will say the same thing.
Deleting the app from your phone will not delete any of the files in your account.

Do you mean deleting the photos on iPhone Photos app? In that case, it wouldn't delete them in Dropbox on your computer. However, if you delete the files in your iPhone Dropbox app, it will delete everywhere in Dropbox including your computer and Dropbox web.

Will my photos that are downloaded to Dropbox on my computer stay on my computer if I delete them from my iPhone?

Really? I can't just delete the app and use the web version? That is crazy. I have an android.
