Answer 1

You have to save your nginx configuration files first.

Next

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.9.9.tar.gz
gunzip http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.9.9.tar.gz
tar xf nginx-1.9.9
cd nginx-1.9.9

And next

./configure --add-module=/usr/build/nginx-rtmp-module

Afer installing new nginx version check your configs!

Answer 2

rtmp module is statically linked one so it does need to be compiled with nginx. it can't be added dynamically like you are trying to. you need to remove prebuilt version of nginx and compile it from source with rtmp module following documentation.
