Yes. Newer Java (starting around update 10) should be uninstalling previous versions automatically.

Experience has shown that Java updates will not remove Updates 13 and earlier.

You mentioned 64-bit so it's best if you open the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer and update from there so as to get the proper download. The 32-bit version is for the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer and most other browsers such as Firefox. For Internet Explorer you do need separate installations of the separate Updates.
