What happens to my Steam version of Microsoft game if I decide to close my Microsoft account? Will thy port over to my new Microsoft account (if I decide to close my existing one and create a fresh new one) or will those games be gone for good even if they still show in my Steam library list in the Steam app?

Wrong place to ask, you should ask Microsoft that. But likely it would be a loss of those games.

If the game was redeemed on Steam, it will stay in Steam. If the game requires a Microsoft account to play, all data associated with the previous account will be deleted.

Just like other third-party accounts, all data within the account will be deleted though Microsoft allows you to create a fresh one and link it through the same Steam account unlike other publishers (should you missed an unlink option before deleting).
