What is the most liberal branch of Judaism?
It depends on what country you're talking about. It's also a matter of opinion. In the United States, the Reform movement is generally the most liberal, however Reform Judaism has been undergoing a slow shift toward incorporating more and more tradition, whereas Conservative Judaism has been undergoing a slow shift toward more change. It's not stretch to imagine a time when the two will merge.

Should I convert to Reform Judaism?
That is quite literally between you and God. Conversion to any stream of Judaism requires a period of study under the supervision of a rabbi, and then examination before a beit din, a rabbinical court composed of 3 judges. The decision as to what stream of Judaism to convert under is not necessarily easy. You really need to explore Judaism and find which stream works. Reform Judaism, if taken seriously, is not "Judaism lite" because, ideally, a Reform Jew should fully understand the tradition before deciding what aspects of the tradition to keep and how. The internal divisions within Judaism are, for many potential converts, one of the most difficult parts of the path to conversion.
What is one of the main sects of Judaism?
Orthodox is the most traditional. Reform is the largest. But there is no one denomination that can be called "the main sect". All of the denominations of Judaism are tied together (despite the opinions of some traditional Jews). For example, Reform Jews who keep kosher depend on Orthodox butchers. Orthodox communities within large Reform communities must interact with Reform Jews in community based situations such as local Jewish newspapers and some events.
