A reset = pressing and holding the power/sleep button and the home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo re-appear on the screen, then let go and allow it to finish rebooting.
A reset will not delete anything.
Restoring an inphone in iTunes will erase everything and replace it with factory defaults or whatever you have in the form of a backup to restore from.
