Q1. Does upgrading ubuntu also upgrades the kernel?
Yes It will upgrade your kernel too, but If you want to hold your kernel with out any update/upgrade , then yes you can do that.
Bottom-line: Yes upgrade will give a kernel update too.
Q2. Is better to remove old Ubuntu and install latest one.
Generally If you do fresh install , then again you have to install & configure everything. Like Applications and others.
If you upgrade , you wont lost your data,programs or applications and other modifications you made.
But sometimes upgrades do failed but its not often.
Bottom-line: Its up to you.
