No, of course not. Otherwise you'll get another failed update. Do the
update after you've renamed the folder. Then, after the update you will
see that the same folder was added by Subversion during the update (and
you can't rename it back). You can then decide which of the folders you
want to keep and remove the one you don't.

Of course! See above.
