Q1: Does a Root void your warrenty?
A1: Yes, I own a Hero bought out right without contract. My warrenty states that modification voids the warrenty. I beleive this is because HTC/GOOGLE have not stated that the software/firmware/hardware you may use is not going to damage it. Therefore they cannot be held to account to any damage done as a result of this modification as they have no control over it.
Q2: Is it detectable once it is restored to orginal?
A1: I have no idea but I'm sure HTC/GOOGLE have something hidden that could hold onto any information regarding the phones history.
I think the key question is, is it worth it.

Q3 is it worth it for HTC/Google/Orange/Tmobile to have some geek spending a lot of time working out if every returned phone has previously been rooted?
A3 very unlikely.
