It only makes sense to extend your stay in the UK if you are already in the UK.
If you are not in the UK, therefore, you should apply for a new Standard Visitor visa. You do not need to have your existing visa cancelled or changed.

Answer 2
You already have your answer. To apply for a visa extension you must be in the UK. You're in Sweden (which isn't in the UK as far as I'm aware), so you apply for a new visa.
