If we give out vaccinations against influenza, will the remaining strains become resistant 'super' influenzas?

A flu vaccine trains the immune system to recognize particular strains of the flu virus so that it can fight them off more quickly. The viruses do indeed respond by mutating to resist this identification. That's why you need a new flu shot each year. The old shot still protects you against the old virus, but won't help with the viruses that have evolved to look different from the old ones. However, because immunization is a method for building immune system recognition rather than a direct virus-destroying agent, there is no way for a virus to become resistant to vaccination in general; we can always mix up a vaccine with the latest virus strains and it will work.

No, superbugs develop from their learning to survive antibiotics, and for that they need to be spread everywhere. With vaccinated hosts the virus cannot survive at all so their is no selection process for the superbug to evolve.
