Often modules contain a line like
\writestatus{loading}{Gnuplot (ver: 2013.05.13)}
which outputs the version. But not all modules do. I don't know of
any reliable way to tell the version. Modules do not even have to be
versioned, It's up to the module writers.

There's no built-in way to achieve that. Since ConTeXt can't tell
which version of a module is installed, it can't prioritise a newer
version. You have to remember to remove your manually installed
module after it gets updated.

You can use the texmf-local directory.

In the directory TEXMFHOME points to or texmf-local.
