Hi ketanco,
1. You should not be entering dates into Project. Create the tasks and create the links (predecessor/successor) to drive the schedule.
2. You do not need to enter baselines -- once you've finished entering the tasks and making assignments as needed -- you save a baseline through Project Tab > Set Baseline.
3. Actual Start, Actual Finish, Actual and Remaining Duration, and Actual and Remaining Work are used for tracking tasks -- marking progress.
You might benefit from the investment in a good 2-3 day hands on Project class. Project is not a product that is terribly easy to learn on your own and you can develop bad habits (like typing in dates) that will cause you huge amounts of grief later on.
