Answer 1

In short, The first one that refers to the CU,

The CU already include the security update.

Note:

• It’s not recommended to install SharePoint update on production environment until tested on dev/test environment.
• As a prerequisite, the Aug 2018 update requires SharePoint 2010 Service pack 2 to be installed
• Perform a full backup before starting the update process because you can’t rollback the Cumulative Update Installation.
• It’s recommended to install the CU that will solve a specific issue in your farm, by checking the improvements and issues that should be fixed before applying the cumulative update.

• The update process requires downtime, so you should schedule a new RFC with an outage to apply a new patch.

• After installing, Don't forget to run the configuration wizard to apply the patch.
