Most cell phones come with a factory ROM update, so you will lose all apps and files.
Some tablets allow a core update and minor OS updates, but they are sparse, and compatibility with apps is not guaranteed.
There usually is no compatibility with major OS updates.
However, if you paid your app from the Google app store, you will be able to redownload and reinstall it once you did the OS update.
Edit: This is no longer the case. With newer versions of Android OS, Google will save the apps you have installed, and it will automatically re-install them for you after an OS update. Also, if you have an older version of Android, there are 3rd party apps that can save both the apps you've installed to re-install later, as well as data from those apps.

Not necessarily. A number of apps can run on earlier versions of Android (ex: Android 2.0--Eclair).

However, with the number of devices still supporting an older Android OS dwindling, it would be no surprise if a developer may no longer support an older OS.
