The file to which
the Google CDN points
to is no longer updated and will stay locked at version 1.11.1 in order to
prevent inadvertent web
breakage.
In general, version updating should be an intentional decision! You shouldn't include a URL that will always point to the latest version, as that version:
- may not be compatible with the existing plugins/code on the site
- will have a very short cache time compare to the specific version, which means that users won't get the benefits of long-term caching
The main advantage of placing it in the <head> is that you will track the
user's pageview even if they leave the page before it has been fully loaded.
However, having the code at the bottom of the page helps improve
performance.
How can I integrate Bootstrap with HTML5 Boilerplate?
One simple way is to use Initializr and create a custom build that includes both HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap.

No, same as you don't normally replace the foundation of a house once it was built. However, there is nothing stopping you from trying to work in the latest changes, but you'll have to assess the costs/benefits of doing so.
Please ask for help on StackOverflow.
