Not every time, but DB version bumps happen often for development builds. Right now for pre-Eden we are done for that due to the feature freeze and Beta 1 coming out soon.
EDIT: read your statement wrong. Yes, now would be a good time to update all installations.

General rule of thumb for nightlies and MySQL is: ALWAYS use the same nightly build on all XBMC devices that want to use MySQL.
That's why these are developer builds. Things change fast, daily, and sometimes break things. They're not for general consumption. That being said, documentation is a community effort normally done via the XBMC wiki. If someone wants to take up the task of documenting DB versions in the future, that would be the place to do it, but someone has to volenteer for the job. DB bumps are normally mentioned in the github commit summaries, if you watch each one.

Yep. One is the original untouched DB incase something went wrong or you want to use your previous version. If everything is fine on the newer updated DBs then you can remove the older ones if you want, but I would keep them as a backup until Eden final comes out.
