Done. Nothing was installed. 

Answer 1

The Access is denied error, which means that you must run the SDK manager as an administrator in order to have full access to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk .

You should find your android.bat and do this:

Answer 3

There will be an opportunity to have a proxy problem in your Internet connection, if this is not a problem, you should try to run your sdk manager exe as administrator mode to fix the problem. if this does not work, you can download zip updates to install adt via the local path.

In most cases, when updating adt in eclipse, it can damage your plugin, in which case you need to change eclipse and perform a new installation using the latest adt.
