Most Foreman plugins don't clean up after themselves correctly after installation, it's a problem that needs solving + testing to ensure it works correctly. For now, all I can recommend is uninstalling the packages. The data will stay in the database.

Just the normal Foreman upgrade procedure. If there's special steps for foreman_salt, I'll put it in the release notes for the particular release.
Each major version of foreman_salt tends to be compatible with one particular version. e.g foreman_salt 2.x goes with foreman 1.8.
