1) The community manual says "The renown needed for a promotion is not the cumulative renown you've gathered through your career, but rather your current amount of renown." So, does that mean if I spend renown to upgrade my boat, I'm delaying my promotion? And I guess the real question is: which is more important, getting promoted or upgrading my boat?

2) The GWX mods look pretty cool. However, I'm already into a career on the standard version. Will installing GWX restart my career? Does it just augment the existing missions, replace the old ones or add new ones?
You will be better served by upgrading before thinking about promotion.

Most of the upgrades cost differing renown values and promotion only occurs when a level of renown is achieved so it is possible to drop in rank when you upgrade a piece of equipment.

Alfman has answered your second question.

Welcome aboard
