Uncheck what you don't want synced. You can sync your iTunes stuff to your phone, but not your phone stuff to your itunes. For example, if you have added new contacts to your phone, it will erase them if you sync to your itunes. Uncheck your contacts if you do not want them synced. Syncing is for adding stuff to your phone from itunes.

I'm sorry... but this is incorrect. Once your phone is sync'd w/ your iTunes account anything you add to you phone, whether it be music or ringtones purchased from the iTunes app or contacts you added to your phone book, it WILL sync from your phone to your computer and update the music or ringtones saved on the computer & update your contact list (where ever you have it saved; Gmail, outlook, ect.). There is a setting in iTunes that will prompt you if you're changing more than 25% of something on your phone... either contacts, music, apps, whatever.

You should look into possibly getting an application to backup your data. There are plenty of free sync backup apps in the Android Market, and that way you don't need to mess with a USB cord anymore, easy to get phone to and off of your phone.
