Hg(OH)2, yes, it does exist. Although it must be synthsized as it deosn't exist naturally. Molecules has been isolated (2004) on frozen neon or argon. If you try and make it by adding hydroxide to a solution of Hg2+ what you get is HgO, Mercury(II) oxide as a precipitate.

What is the chemical HgOH?

HgOH would be called mercury(I) hydroxide or mercurous hydroxide.

Some authors say it only exists in solution. It would contain the diatomic Hg22+ ion and the formula would be written Hg2(OH)2.
