Answer 1

For your first question try

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS); 

(available since API 8)

To access individual files in this directory use either File.list() or File.listFiles(). Seems that reporting download progress is only possible in notification, see here.
