Answer 1

According to the latest HTML5 working draft, the progress tag is best used to display the progress of a specific task at hand. meter is best used for task-unrelated guages, such as disk space or memory usage.

The progress element represents the completion progress of a task.

Whereas

The meter element represents a scalar measurement within a known range, or a fractional value; for example disk usage, the relevance of a query result, or the fraction of a voting population to have selected a particular candidate.

Edit - as rendering and styling seems to be an issue, you might have more luck using other tags. For example a sexy progress navigator could be coded with:

And styled with something like this.
