You cannot use old mod_ssl versions with newer OpenSSL versions. Either use
OpenSSL 0.9.2b for mod_ssl 2.2.x or when you want to use OpenSSL 0.9.3a then
you've to use mod_ssl 2.3.x.

No, --prefix for mod_ssl and Apache is like --prefix for other configure
scripts: It's the base directory of the installation tree. Please read
Apache's INSTALL document for more details.

All paths you can choose yourself. Either use the default paths or adjust them
to meet your RH layout. Read Apache's INSTALL document for details on how you
can change the path layout.
