I have a web server running on a Mac Mini running the most up-to-date version of Mojave. The current Apache version on my machine is 2.4.34, and I want to upgrade to 2.4.46 to remediate some vulnerabilities. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

Assuming you are using the version of Apache that came bundled with Mojave, I would suggest switching over to the Homebrew version of httpd instead. It's already up to date at 2.4.46.
Once you've installed Brew, you can use
That way you can update the version outside of OS updates. I use this technique to keep tools like Python and other things up to date as well.

I had no idea that Open Office was "owned" by The Apache Software Foundation until I did a search because of seeing this thread. But, I don't know what http d is, even after a search. Is it supposed to be https?

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) brings a lot of projects under its umbrella when the individual maintainers are no longer able to maintain it but the projects are used by a lot of folks.
The list is quote prolific from databases like Cassandra, CouchDB, languages like PERL, messaging system like ActiveMQ, processing engines like Hadoop and Kafka, UI for applications like Struts, Java application engine like Tomcat and of course what they are most well known for the HTTP Server which is the web server that used to power nearly 80-90% of the Internet for over two decades.
The package 'httpd' stands for HTTP Daemon and that's the web server since the executable is called httpd. HTTP is just the protocol and HTTPS is the secure version of that protocol.
