Hi :) This link about the User Profile might explain a few things https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
Uninstalling any version of LibreOffice does not remove all the settings and configurations, Extensions (Add-ons), galleries and so on. They are all left in your User Profile. So, the standard way to upgrade is to uninstal any previous version and then do a fresh install of the new one and let it pick up all your old settings. If you wanted to "get back to factory settings" then instead of doing a reinstall you would just rename your user profile, effectively backing-up your old one in case getting back to defaults didn't fix the problem you had been facing. Most OpenSource projects seem to work the same way, eg Firefox (web-browser), Gimp (picture editing) and so on.

I do not know about the more from 3.4.6 to 3.5.2. If you are a "power user", or business user, I would stick with 3.4.6. If you want the more cutting edge version, go ahead and install 3.5.2 as the "upgrade". I have not upgraded my Windows laptops from 3.4.5 yet. I run Ubuntu and still run 3.4.5. IF you want 3.4.5, you can get it. But 3.4.6 is the last of that line and may be better.
