If you’re manually installing a plugin, you need to disable and delete the old version. However, WordPress does allow you to update your plugin programatically. If your plugin is hosted on the WordPress.org repository, it will prompt the users to install updates for you. You’ve likely seen this with Akismet and other plugins already. If … Read more
I think you need to use: define(“ROOT”, realpath(dir(__file__)) . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); require(ROOT . “apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php”); Got this from the PHP.Net site however haven’t used the code (Or use this type of code often) so can’t guarantee it will work.

The default theme directory is registered like this in wp-settings.php // Register the default theme directory root register_theme_directory( get_theme_root() ); where function get_theme_root( $stylesheet_or_template = false ) { global $wp_theme_directories; if ( $stylesheet_or_template && $theme_root = get_raw_theme_root( $stylesheet_or_template ) ) { // Always prepend WP_CONTENT_DIR unless the root currently registered as a theme directory. // … Read more

Answering your first question, yes it is absolutely possible to have one installation of WordPress running ‘within’ another (i.e. installed at example.com and example.com/child). I have something like that running right now.
It is not possible to override header/footer via hooks in respective get_header()/get_header() functions. However it is often overlooked that these function allow input and loading different headers. For example get_header( ‘nested/header’ ); will look for header-nested/header.php in theme’s folder. It’s kind of a hack in regards to subdirectory use, but it works. 🙂
