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.
