Yes, something /might/ happen when you overwrite existing modules and
keep running the old kernel. Loading of new modules might fail, for
example, so /if/ you simply overwrite the modules you should reboot as
soon as possible.

Yes. After that, install the new kernel deb and reboot. The kernel
package's maintainer scripts should take care that you boot loader is
configured correctly (you might want to double-check that before
reboot).
