While the Noblet is an intermediate clarinet, it is still a decent instrument and is not going to hold you back (Assuming it's in good playing condition, if it hasn't been serviced in 25 years that should be the first thing you do). Before rushing to upgrade it would be a good idea to try as many instruments in person as possible to get an idea of what you like. It's entirely possibly to spend a lot of money on a professional clarinet that plays worse than what you already have, I've seen many people make that mistake before.

As for the mouthpiece, the 11.6 was discontinued but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad mouthpiece. Mouthpieces are a very personal choice and everyone has different tastes. I would also recommend trying as many as possible before upgrading, you may find that you like your current mouthpiece the best.

In general I recommend upgrading the mouthpiece before the clarinet as the mouthpiece arguably has more impact on how the clarinet plays than any other part of the instrument.
