Is it ok to put steam deck in case while in sleep mode?

When you pause a game the pc still has to render the game world as if you are still actively playing. It does this so when you unpause the game there is no lag and you continue as normal. It's best to sleep the system if you need to place it inside the case for even 30 seconds.

Does the steam deck overheat?

Steam as a service continues to run until you shut Steam down. Your PC going to sleep with Steam open and a game running means Steam will continue to track playtime as you putting Windows to sleep does not affect Steam at all.
