Sounds like maybe a lack of space especially if you can' upgrade. Have you force quit all apps in the app switcher and rebooted? A "Reset all network Settings" in Settings, General, Reset may even help more, but make sure you close all apps first and remember you will have to reconnect to your WiFi after this and require your WiFi password. As for the 4S, even iOS 9 will be supported and I doubt your issues are related to compatibility problems. To me it sounds like iOS 9 in the end may even run better on a 4S than 8.x is since Apple is doing a lot to streamline iOS and many apps will have versions which are optimized for specific phones although you won't have to select this manually, it will automatically happen. The 4S is almost 4 years old so I don't say upgrading would be a bad thing and in fact I think you would enjoy the speed, improved battery life and features of a new phone, but as long as your 4S has no major hardware issues it should still work fine.

My partner Aimee has a 16 gig 4S, and it works just fine. You should have no problem upgrading to IOS8.4.
