This is gonna sound really nooby but what exactly are they for/what do they do?
thanks in advance

If you have high rep. points you get discount in stores for items and such.

aha thank you

And if they drop too low, the city guards will attack you.

Also if they drop too high or too low some NPC's might leave.

And witht the Item Upgrade mod, you need a reputation of 20 to improve some things, like Mazzy Fenatn's sword.

[EDIT]ed my spelling.

...and if reputation drops too low a paladin or ranger protagonist could lose their class abilities.

To expand on what Desuma said, once you drop below a certain reputation point limit you become a "fallen" paladin/ranger, with no class specific abilites. You will NEVER EVER EVER gain these back. I think.

If you get a Fallen status (either Paladin or Ranger) and you finish your stronghold quests don't you get back to normal, as in not fallen?

No idea, this is a SixofSpades question, I never get Fallen status.
