It's not possible on a MacBook Pro Retina, you have to upgrade at time of purchase.

to Q1: Short answer is NO. The Ram memory is soldered on board, so that it would be extremely difficult to upgrade to 16GB Ram.

to Q2: Officially it is noted as 1866 MHz, but 1866 and 1867 is "the same".

I would like to make an additional remark: just start using it for music production: even when you have a bit too little memory to be optimal, you will probably not notice it because it will buffer on the internal drive: since this is a SSD this buffering is very fast.
