Is it safe to remove a process folder from /var/run/ if I think it has got wrong permissions, will it be recreated by process as before?

Do I lose any information by deleting /var/run/<process folder> when the process is not running?

After deleting if it works/runs, does that mean it has not lost any data?

It depends on the process. In most cases, a reboot should clear out the whole folder, but to be on the safe side, stop the process before deleting the folder.
