If I clean my flag stones with hydracloride will it burn through any of these drain pipes or take paint off wall?

I guess you mean Sodium Hypochlorite 10/11%. AFAIK it won't harm the pipes, not sure about the paint, but I wouldn't expect it to damage the paint. I believe that in the USA it is known as laundry bleach (albeit a weaker solution). I think it might oxidise copper pipes, but, again, not sure.
 
You need to be sure which chemical you are asking about, and what the percentage concentration is.

Sodium hydroxide is caustic soda, which is very powerful and corrosive.

Sodium hypochlorite is used in normal household bleach, depending on the concentration.
