If I upgrade the firmware on the iPhone, will it remove Mobile Spy?

Yes, whenever you upgrade the firmware on the iPhone, it will remove all programs and utilities associated with jailbroken software. This will include Mobile Spy and Cydia.

You should not upgrade firmware until you have time to re-jailbreak your device and make sure that firmware version can be jailbroken. Apple, lately, has been working on creating firmware versions that cannot be jailbroken. Make sure if you plan to upgrade that a reliable jailbreaking method for that firmware is available.

So if you upgrade the iPhone’s firmware and it can be jailbroken, simply re-jailbreak the device and reinstall the software through Cydia.

Can I delete the Cydia icon?

No, you cannot delete the Cydia icon off of the springboard. Instead of deleting the Cydia icon, you should just hide it. You can hide the Cydia icon and Smartphone icon directly from the Mobile Spy interface. Here’s the page on Retina-X Studios, LLC’s website that explains the process:
