I have 2 questions,

1. I am trying to create an index, which is running for a long time. Is there an option to know the progress so far or how much more time it is going to take?

2. Is there anyway to find out how much space is required to rebuild an index?

1. No.
2. Estimate it based upon its current size

1) You must be creating clustered index on huge table.Well it has to sort all records and locks table as well.
