You can add a custom horizontal Task Pane that can approximate that UI. The alternative is building your own completely custom UI but it is very difficult: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/OlAdjacentWindows/.

As for auto-updating, you can deploy your add-in using ClickOnce and new versions will be detected and installed automatically: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb772100.aspx

Or you can build your own similar deployment mechanism with a manifest and source installation files on your own website.

No, that functionality is not exposed or documented.
