You generally don't flash lockscreens.

Do you mean bootscreens? Splashscreens?

Either way, no they do not wipe your phone.

That depends on what ROM your on, but generally you can go menu>settings>customize and there should be an area for it somewhere in the same area that you switch your wallpaper.

Some Dev's will create mod's/tweaks for their ROM, that are specifically designed for that specific ROM; and you'll usually find them on the Dev's thread.

Make sure you don't flash mod's that were designed for other ROM's onto the current ROM you're running (unless specified to be safe and determined to be compatible), the effects it may have on your Evo may be negative.

well the best place to go is over at EVO 4G Themes and Apps - xda-developers or the rom's op (sometimes the dev will have in the op or the second or third post a list of mods for the rom).

but i was able to find this collection of lockscreens for certain roms:

Give Go Locker a try its fairly decent. I've used it a couple of times. I have widget locker it's a paid app so i stick with it but really did like the go locker and its many themes.

The cool thing about Widgetlocker is the ability to create your own thing, put together your own image with whatever slider and widget you want.
Here is my current lockscreen with invisible slider.

and, the first one i ever did.
