if i update software like iTunes, will it just add on to my computer and will i have to delete the old iTunes myself? or is it supposed to overwrite it or something? because i've updated software before and when it was finished i noticed i had less memory on my computer.
and if i do delete my old itunes, is there a way i can carry the songs over to the new itunes?

say i downloaded itunes from the apple website then saved it and put it on a disk. then i put it on a computer that had the last version of itunes. would i have to delete the older version on the computer?

It overwrites it and installs it after it downloads. :)

Nope, you won't have to delete nothing; the update does exactly what it's supposed to do, update the software without you needing to remove/uninstall anything. In a sense yes, it "overwrites" but it doesn't; it updates. There is no old iTunes; you only have one; the updated one is the same as the one you had before; with the same libraries, playlists, etc.
-- Edit --
To answer your additional question; it would automatically over-write it.

It sometimes depends on the software. iTunes is "graceful" about it and carries stuff over.
Some software, though, is "ungraceful" and installs a whole new version and leaves the old version hanging around eating up disk space (grrr...) and you have to go out and clean it up by hand.
One of my friends had 8 old "versions" of AOL! I had to go trash the old ones for her!

you don't need to delete anything.
