That sounds neat and enjoyable to tinker with. Is there a possibility that using a tool like that will get you flagged and/or banned from Steam? Or do they not care when it's a single player game?

Yes definitely. If you search Google for 'VAC enabled games' you'll get an easy link to the steam website filtered to just games with valve anti cheat. There's a search bar on that page you can use to check if a game is on that list. If it's not there, have at it.

Pretty typically just online games use it. Cheat engine wouldn't be able to do much anyway, as most multi-player games will keep track of the fun variables serverside instead of on your computer. It's a jerk move anyway to ruin other people's fun by cheating in multiplayer.

Edit: Google isn't showing that link anymore for me. I think this is it, it looks right:
