A hidden partition is used by come companies to store disk recovery features such as drivers and operating system install files. Instead of providing a disk, they stick the files there. Pressing a key during boot up will access files in the hidden partition.
No, formatting a visible partition will not affect the hidden partition.

I use hidden partitions for protecting confidential data. For hiding/unhiding partitions I use Acronis Disk Director. It's protected with a password, so that only I can unhide the confidential partition.
