You can set the render method in YAP permanantly to dvips mode to
avoid the question. (In 2.7. YAP not longer asks.)

Nothing. You will only be able to use fully one version (the one which
comes first in PATH or for which you have set-up e.g. winedt), but
apart from this they don't disturb each other.

Depends how you made the additions. If you have kept your local
additions apart from the main roots, e.g. if they are in a special
local texmf-root, you can add this root to the new version. If you
have put your additions in one of the main roots of the older version,
you will probably have to extract them somehow first.
