Answer 1

I assume that you are using a NetStream object to stream your video?

If so, the NetStream class has a variable called time which gives you the seek time in seconds.

var ns:NetStream;
// load video, etc
...
// update every frame
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {
    trace("seek time: " + ns.time);
}

As for the total time, you can get that from the video's metadata by listening to the onMetaData event. See here.
