Will the MAC address change if you format your computer?
Under normal circumstances: No. The MAC address is hardcoded in the network controller (NIC), e.g. on a Flash chip. If the computer uses a non virtual NIC (as used on virtual machines) and there are no drivers installed that change the MAC inside the operating system, the MAC stays the same. But drivers/configurations can overcome the static MAC using the OS behavior. In most cases the MAC isn't read by the OS every time it is used, its rather stored somewhere. If that "somewhere" was changed, the MAC will certainly change if the computer is formated. Same applies if the computer uses virtual NICs. If you know the MAC and it is not the same as hardcoded in the NIC, you can restore the MAC after reinstallation.
