if i take Obtain Familiar and use that familiar but then want to get Improved Familiar, do i have to dismiss the 1st familiar and wait a year to get the improved one?

Technically, yes. However, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask your DM if you could either waive the waiting period just this once or put off calling the familiar from obtain familiar until you pick up improved familiar.

You could always use the extra familiar feat then the improved familiar feat (or vice versa).

This probably isn't how it actually works, but it should be.
