In order to install one apk from another you should add one of your apk as asset to another apk. Then in the apk which contains apk in its assets folder you can use intent to install the apk in the assets

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(
    new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +  "/Download/yourApkFromAssets.apk")
), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");

Do not forget first to copy your file from assets to Download folder.

That is not possible. There is one app per APK in Android, at least at the present time.
