No, the Android 1.6 SDK is probably the same as the Android 1.6 SDK
was back when you installed it. However, since then, there have been
many newer versions of Android, and there have been improvements in
the build tools.

Perhaps not, but you can upgrade to the latest tools via the Android
SDK and AVD Manager, then see what new Android versions have SDKs that
you wish to install (e.g., to test your app on emulators for newer
Android versions).

You would upgrade to the latest tools via the Android SDK and AVD
Manager, which is available both inside and outside of Eclipse.
