That's interesting. I'm running apache2 on my OpenBSD webserver (which
runs 4.2) and it runs just fine there. No problems installing or
anything. (although I did have X installed (for gd etc.)) Of course, I
installed apache with all its dependencies...

No. There's no "correct" (as in, documented and advocated by the
developers) way of 'uninstalling' the default apache and you can't use
pkg_delete (it's not a package in the sense of the pkg-tools).

You don't need to and the 2.2 you want to install will not overwrite
the old version. You have to make sure you start the correct apache
yourself (it's quite easy to distinguish between the two).

Not sure about this one, I believe it's not chroot'ed by default but
that's easy to check I suppose.
Cheers,
