Does having a tourist visa (B2) matter? Do I need to mention it in applications?

Some universities like University of Massachusetts and Texas A&M are asking about details about current visa that I'm holding. I have a tourist visa (B2) valid for a couple of years now, so does that somehow affect my application or alter the process somehow?

Also, if and when I get admit from any uni, will my B2 get cancelled for the F1 visa or will I have both?

Any details will help, thanks in advance!
