I have recently done a successful 4.5.2 to 4.6.1 upgrade. The things to note are;

1. Make sure you back up your current MBDataDirectory and your database. The uprade will upgrade your database
2. Also backup you 4.5.2 installation
3. If you have customizations in 4.5.2, you will need to reapply them to 4.6.1 - (there are some code changes you need to be aware of between versions - IWOV can send you a list of asp pages that have changed between versions
4. I tested the upgrade in a test environment before doing it in production I would recommend this highly.
5. There is an upgrade guide in the documentation -if you can't find it I might have one lying around I can post - let me know

Your case is not a generic one..
Regular upgrade are on the top of the older versions

1. Should i start it as a new installation for Installing [size=2]MediaBin Asset Server for Microsoft SQL[/size]

First read the manual "MediaBin® Installation and Upgrade Guide"
-Release 4.6.1 . This is good enough to get all the information about an upgrade

Make sure your H/W and S/W are compactable with MB 4.6.1

[size=2]2.Will it have impact on the current 4.5.2 version installed.[/size]

Of course , you are no more going to use the 4.5.2 .If you upgrade properly ,
[font=Book Antiqua]the existing assets , folder system , permission , Metadata , tasks etc.. remains as it is

Make a copy of your customization files

To be clear, are you currently using SQL Server or Oracle?

I take it that the destination would be SQL Server...

The most important step zero is back up everything!!!

You should mention your MS SQL Server Ver ,

If you are using SQL Server 2005

Use SQL Server Management Studio and

Select the property of the db you want to view the size ,

which will display the space allocated and the space used for a particular db
