1) If I read correctly, RBF is an option I can activate for future transactions? I will definitely look into this and making sure I have a high enough fee for any of my future transactions. I work with Electrum, not with Mycelium. When I right-click on the unconfirmed transaction, I don't see the 'selecting increase fee' option.

Yup. You can't increase the fees on the transactions that you have already broadcasted. If you have the replace by fee option selected, you can create another transaction with a much higher fee to "replace" the current transaction that is in the mempool.

2) I am the receiver of the funds, but on the Kraken account. When I right click on the unconfirmed transaction in Electrum, I do see the 'Child Pays For Parent' option, though. Should I try this out?

Sure. Child pay for parents allows for child transaction (the transaction you are creating) to help to incentivise the miners to get the whole chain of transaction confirmed. This method will work as long as the transaction has an output to an address that you control. This does include a hefty fee however, since you are also effectively creating a new transaction.

Thanks for your reply, Ranochigo!

So for the CPFP option, could I assume the fee gets doubled? Or what would be an effective fee to unstuck the transaction?

Edit: To clarify, I mean to ask if a sufficient fee would get doubled. Not the original fee.

Based on what i experience you don't need to pay double just use the default fee from http://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ that you can found below the chart and put it in your transaction fee per kb.
You can found it in tools>preferences> and put the default fee or just check the dynamic fee if you wanted to have slide option.
Make sure to slide it to the right to max just like what i did and send.
Your parent transaction should confirm sooner including your child transaction.

If the accelerate won't work you can also try my method here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2684294.msg27423670#msg27423670
