>> The Scribus Windows installer being able to replace the older installed Scribus
Generally it is not safe to install one scribus version in the directory of an older version without uninstalling that older version first. It is already possible to uninstall silently the older version by running the uninstaller located in the install directory with following command line:
uninst.exe /S
It is possible then to install the newer version silently by running the installer with the /S command line option.

>> A way to choose the components to be installed (additional fonts, shortcut settings) when deploying Scribus
I am not aware if this is possible to do that with NSIS. In the case of silent install, the installed components are generally pre-selected.

Ok, thanks!

I've found some documentation for NSIS and could also not find any traces of arguments for the settings
