Stealth Mode just means that the computer will not respond to a "ping" or similar network enquiries. This means that anyone trying to communicate with your computer will not receive any reply.
It will not harm your computer to turn it on, but it may adversely affect any networking programs which you use. I would turn the firewall on, but leave Stealth Mode off unless you really know you need it.
