They have a lot of meanings but here they both mean to "move forward."
Similar example:
"Should we advance further?"
"Should we progress further?"
"The dog advanced to the door."
"The dog progressed to the door."
Not similar:
"This software is to advance."
"What is the progress on the software?"
Here "advance" is talking about how far ahead the technology is.
While "progress" is asking how far along the product has come. They might seem similar but in the last 2 examples they cant be switched with each other.
