You have to do few things before unsafe as sanitation . First run the nodetool decommission if the node is up and wait till streaming happens . You can check is the streaming is completed by nodetool netstats . If streaming is completed you can do unsafe assanitation .
To answer your question unsafe assanitation will not take care of replication factor . It is like forcing a node out from the cluster . Hope this helps.
