EA origin on the house games should be downloaded or just added to account? - Plastic Toy Train on Wooden Rack

Ea origin offers a free game every month and from what I hear you get to keep the game forever. My questions are:

  1. In order to have the game, you need to install it or just add it to your account?
  2. What happens when you format your HDD or uninstall a game due to lack of space and want to re-install it later?
  3. If a game also exists on steam, is there a way to connect them?
