Due to the fact that all ISP's where I live seem to have a data cap, does anyone have a rough idea of how much data TF2 uses to play? Like maybe in MB/hour or something?

Check out the console command net_channels. I think I saw around 50 MB per hour on a 32 slot pub when I checked a long time ago.

It's so minor unless we're talking updates where they download everything to you again, which they have done in the past with L4D for sure.
There's a 10 dollar fee to have unlimited data with my ISP, so when a competitor called me with an offer, I called my ISP and told them about it. The guy gave me a deal on my current plan and is also crediting my account $10 a month to cover my unlimited data ad on. It's worth asking them for it, because they are authorized to give you deals to keep you.

I just didn't have any idea what kind of data a game would take (barring updates). Looks like I only need to be careful with netflix and watching streams.

Might wanna disable automatic updates on Steam, other than that you won't have to worry.

Like forsaken said, ~120MB/hour sounds like a safe estimate, including active Mumble usage.
On the other hand, an hour of high quality video streaming is probably anywhere from 1-4GB, which is where you really need to watch your usage.
