I'm currently trying to update my duo_security application that I installed 4 years ago. I'm following the instructions, but I hit a roadblock when it says:

Note: You'll need to use the same --prefix as when you originally installed the app.

Now the question is how do I find out where was this was originally installed to use as the prefix variable?

And one final question, when you do a sudo make install, does this install actually copy files all over the system like how windows does it? Or does it just stay in the current directory of the install?

Have a look at your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for the ForceCommand directive for login_duo. My handbuilt system shows

ForceCommand /usr/local/sbin/login_duo

so the --prefix was /usr/local which is I think the default, what comes before the /sbin/login_duo will be the prefix.

When you make install it will overwrite the files except those noted.

For some distros Duo now supply repos or pre-built packages. It may be worth removing your current installation and switching to one of these if available.
