All your questions are really rpm questions, not nagios ones.

Anyway, here's the preun section of the nagios spec file:

preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
         /sbin/service nagios stop &>/dev/null || :
         /sbin/chkconfig --del nagios
fi

Seems like you have a broken installation.

Try this:

rpm -e --nopreun nagios
