If I send a trade order (for example, market if touched), then my computer is sleeping or off, will the trade still go through once target is hit? Does Sierra charts have to be actively running for alogorithmic trading to work?

As a general rule you really do need to have Sierra Chart continuously running when you are doing automated trading.

There are various things which can be client-side managed.

If you are using this service, you can use full server-side bracket orders:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

But if you want to use a market if touch order it will be client-side managed:
Order Types: Market if Touched - Client
Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, *change* to the Teton service:
