User level: Level 1 (4 points)If I remove my MacBook from my Apple ID and Find My, will that stop messages, email notifications and photo syncing from my iPhone from coming through to my MacBook?

If you are logged into your Apple Account and logged into iMessages on both devices, you'll get the iMessages on both devices. You can certainly turn the notifications off on the Mac in Settings>Notifications>Messages.
If you don't want to see SMS/RCS messages on your Mac, on your iPhone, go to Settings>Apps>Messages>Text Message Forwarding and turn it off for your Mac.

What notifications? Depending on what you're seeing, there may be less drastic ways of resolving the issue.
