You can use the official Sonoff Dongle Quick Flasher web tool to check for the latest firmware and flash your device.

No, Users can only add one ZHA integration to Home Assistant (but HA can connect to multiple deCONZ or Zigbee2MQTT instances).
5. Can I run Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA together on the same Dongle plus?
No. Z2M and ZHA are the same protocol (Zigbee). You can run one or the other, or buy a second dongle and run both on separate dongles.
6. Can I run 2 Dongles with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT on the same machine together?
Yeah, you can run two dongles at the same time. One in ZHA, the other one in Z2M, as long as you can uniquely identify them on the USB ports and keep separate Zigbee channels, ZHA defaults to 15, Z2M defaults to 11.
