Does it improve the speed of your phone? I hear you can delete games and apps that are factory installed and normally can't be deleted. What are some issues that can come up when rooting a phone? I guess I'm trying to weigh the risk/reward before I think about rooting my phone.

Yes, you can delete apps that are in the system partition (factory installed) or just freeze them. This is one of the risks involved, if you delete the wrong system app, you can screw up your phone.
The number 1 rule for the common person about rooting is to always follow the directions of others. XDA devepelopers has a great forum with phone specific areas that you can find out all of the dos and don'ts for your phone. If you spend enough time on there you will greatly minimize your risk. You will also need to make sure you are following the directions for the system update version as well as the phone and carrier.

Usually the "games and apps" that can't be deleted are in the system partition of your phone. If you delete them, you are deleting them from that partition, which means you won't be able to use that freed space.
What you can do to get that extra space is flash a custom clean rom on your phone that basically takes that extra space and moves it to the usable part of the phone.
