1[a] No, just remove via Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall a Program

1[b] Yes, uninstall MSE then install Avast. Restart pc then 'run' an initial scan with Avast.

2[a] One program. The free version only runs on demand, so set a date for yourself to 'run' it to act as a reminder.

2[b] Here

Make sure you opt out of the free trial of the full version when you install it. The installation will revert to the free version you require.
It should be straightforward to remove MSE by going into Control Panel and locating MSE in Programmes & Features...clicking onto it and clicking uninstall.

If you do have difficulties, please post again and say what operating System you have (Windows Vista, W7 or whatever.)

Answers to your questions:-

1. (a) Not normally.
(b) Download installation file for Avast and Run after removal of MSE.

2. (a) A single programme.
(b) Click the following :-
