If you have an update or full version of Win98, then I don't see why
you should lose any applications (I didn't have to reinstall anything
but that was a long time ago)
Backup any data you don't want to lose, just in case.

No. A fresh install would require you to re-install your applications. An
upgrade preserves all your existing settings and installed applications.
That's what makes an upgrade different than a fresh install.

However, since no process can be 100% guaranteed, back up your system before
upgrading.
