Why current officially supported PHP version is not enough for you?

first of all: do you think a self managed webserve is the right thing for you when you say about yourself that you are a noob in this? maybe a managed-hosting would be a better solution for you?

php version comes with your operating system so the update process depends on which linux distribution you are using.
plesk only uses PHP a php update has nothing to do with plesk so you may ask in the forums for your linux operating system about updating php.

Plesk doesn’t ship client’s PHP, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with PHP 5.3, then Plesk would run PHP 5.3 for clients.

You'd need to log into the server as root, using ssh. Then execute the exact commands in the tutorial.

Yes, but updating MySQL or others which depend on within PHP... Can break Plesk.
