1) Whenever I want to update a task, first I enter its % complete. Then I update the current date of the project and then I go to Tools>Tracking>Update Project. For the tasks that are 0% its no problem and MS project pushes the start date to current date. But for the tasks I entered a % already, it splits the task which I don’t want. How can I prevent this separation, for tasks that are already started, when I update the project date?

I'm guessing you are using the reschedule uncompleted tasks command to move remaining work forward to the status date? You can turn off the ability for Project to split tasks through Tools > Options, Schedule tab and deselect the option "split in progress tasks." However, that will leave remaining work in the past -- which sort of defeats the purpose of reschedule. Have you tried selecting 0 or 100% in the reschedule command?

2) Also, I want it to bring the black progress bar in the blue bar up to the current date automatically, when I am doing all these. How can I do that

?
The black bar is percent complete -- if you are updating the percent complete the bar should be moving -- but you need to update the project. It will not assume because it is now Wednesday that you have progressed any. This is a manual update.
