My internets kind of slow in parts of my house, so should I upgrade to the newest Mac mini to boost it? Is a Mac Mini a server?

Whether the Mac mini is a server or not depends on how you use it. However, as a computer, it doesn't boost your internet speed. For that, you need to look at your ISP, your router, your wireless network settings, etc.

If he's using wireless he may check if there is someone else in the neighbourhood using the same wireless channel: http://ubnt.com/support/airview

(I had that problem, not associated but just a happy customer)
