Answer 1

Firmware is software contained in flash memory within the device.

If you aren't having problems with the LCD, you probably don't need to worry about it.

Usually, to update firmware, you download the file, put it on a USB flash drive or other memory card, and reboot the device. The device (LCD, in this case) updates itself from the file on the flash drive or memory card.

Just make sure you wait until the process is complete. There would typically be a progress bar displayed, or a message, or hourglass indicating that the process was still ongoing.

Sometimes firmware updates are used to enable features that were not available when the device was first released or to fix bugs.
