It can be both! As an adjective, it describes something as 'advanced'. It is also the 'past participle' (the -ed form) of the verb 'avanzar' (to progress).

Not exactly. While it implies you have moved forward, it focuses more on the 'level' or 'stage' you've reached rather than the speed of the movement.
