After updating Android Studio, I have .AndroidStudio1.3 and .AndroidStudio1.4 folders. If I delete .AndroidStudio1.3 folder, will this cause any problems?

You can also delete the older version folders instead of completely removing the Android studio as you mentioned go to C:\Users\yourUsername and delete older version folder.
Please don`t delete . android because this folder contain some setting that enable app to be installed and run on android emulator or device. If you delete this folder, apk installation will be rejected during installation in the android device or emulator.
TL;DR: No. It will not cause any problems. Hidden folders in your home directory should contain only application settings.
No, you're good to go removing the prior version's directory which in this case is the .AndroidStudio1.3 directory.
On a side note, make sure you're importing settings from 1.3 when upgrading to 1.4. That will spare the Android Studio from re-downloading all the existing project dependencies you worked with before.

It depends.
Android Studio stores inside these folders the configuration files of the specified version.
You can remove these folders, if you are not using them anymore.
When you install a new version, Android Studio asks you if you want to import the previous settings.
In any case:
