So, I just got an iPod touch from a family member who used it for like couple of months, but somehow (even after resetting it) their photos that they take using their iPhone sync into my iPod photostream. And I need space on my iPod, so if I deleted all the pictures from photostream, will it delete pictures from their iPhone? I don't want to delete any of their items. I'm totally confused as to why it keeps doing that even after all this time.

You might have an old version of iTunes which does not support folders. The current version is 10.0.1 so I would highly recommend upgrading. If you have the latest then try to reinstall it. This should fix your app/playlist issues.
As for the applications being randomly added ... uncheck the "Automatically sync new apps" box if it is checked. If it is already unchecked, then hopefully reinstalling iTunes will fix this too.
Suggestion 1 :
I think you would be a new user to the iPod/iPhone/OS X/iTunes family.
If your afraid or don't understand what is happening during synchronization using iTunes, I suggest you to use a utility called iPhoneExplorer.
Just Explorer the iPhone/iPod/iPad like a file system.
You would get your images under Root/User/Media/DCIM/ directory. images are grouped in directories like 100APPLE, 101APPLE and so on. Just explore and copy it.
Suggestion 2:
Synchronization - means A single machine and an iPod synchronization. Not multiple machines and an iPod. If you synchronizes from other machine it will erase all of your old data. According to me, you had the problem just because you might have synchronized from other machines iTunes.

Check and see whose Apple ID is being used by iCloud. Go to
Settings -> iCloud -> Account. The Photo Stream associated with your device should be the one associated with the iCloud account that is logged into the same device.Also, deleting items from the device will delete them from whichever user's account is associated with iCloud on the device.
