It can indeed. I believe the team are working on the 5.x update though.

It should let you uninstall components - run the uninstaller and it should
ask what components to remove. Even if you remove everything, it won't
touch your data directory so you can uninstall and then reinstall safely
anyway.

If you install the community pgAdmin package it will install alongside the
one with the database server; they should coexist without any problems. One
won't attempt to modify the other in any way (unless you try to force the
installation directory to be the same of course).
