Barre chords - practice. The pain is good for you 😛
Chord progression is the order the chords are played in. So you might play C for 2 bars, G for 2, Am for 4, etc. Even if you are playing lead guitar there will often be an underlying chord progression which would be played by the rhythm part if the band (if you had one). There are some standard chord progressions such as blues ones, etc.
