Yes, sneezes are one of the most common ways the common cold and influenza are spread. Viruses are released with the sneeze riding on respiratory droplets that can then be breathed in by a by-stander or can land on surfaces out of the air where they can be touched and picked up on hands to be further spread.
When a person sneezes due to a sinus infection, which is often caused by bacteria, the same process of infection can occur with the different pathogen.
Just the normal flora ("germs") in your mouth, lungs, and sinuses can also be spread and can make some people sick, especially if they are very young, very old, have underlying medical problems or are immunocompromised. So just because a person's sneeze is due to an allergy and not infection, you might still get sick from it if you do not have a well-functioning immune system.
