Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Yes, jailbreaking voids your warrenty - while the jail break is on the iPad. However, it can be easily removed, thus restoring your iPad to stock/out-of-the-box state. This means that, should you need warranty work, you can remove any/all jail break software and none will be the wiser.
For the second part of your question, may I suggest you grab a snack and your favorite beverage and have a read through all the stickies here in the Hacking section, beginning with this one: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacki...ed-2011-a.html
They'll give you a good idea why we jail break and what you can do with it.
Good luck and welcome again.

A question I asked before, still no answer - will jail breaking make your iPad less secure than before, i.e. will would-be hackers/viruses/worms now find it easier to mess with your Ipad?
