Does OpenCV help in getting not just images, but sound etc?

I'm building AI and putting it in a robot and need to get images, sounds, accelometer's senses, feel senses.

It's just computer vision. If you want to have access to all the other sensors, you should have a look at ROS (ros.org). It contains interfaces to about all sensors you can imagine to have on a robot.

Then why would I need OpenCV?

ROS uses OpenCV for image processing, and other libraries for sensors, sound, etc. ROS includes OpenCV, but not the other way around.

If I install the ROS, will it be easier to install OpenCV than the current way?

Negative to that, I would even say that setting up ROS is more complicated than pure OpenCV ...

Should I setup ROS first? Will that let me install OpenCV possibly to a required area?

You need to setup OpenCV before you can set up ROS because ROS depends on the OpenCV installation.

No. ROS has the OpenCV library as a system dependency so it's installed automatically.
