Question 1 - unless you are "un-tarring" to a specific directory, you would
have /usr/local/src/asterisk-1.4.24.1 and /usr/local/src/asterisk-1.4.34
segregated source trees.

Question 2 - you don't "have" to stop asterisk, but you should (best
practice?) since installing a new release usually involves
removing/replacing the .so files in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules.
