Considering that Christianity was based on the rejection of Judaism, the two religions don't have much in common. The closest similarity is that the Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach (Jewish Bible), however, the Christian OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.

Both modern religions developed from several different sects of Jewish Temple Religion in response to the Roman destruction of the Temple. They were already widely separated in theology long before this though: the sects that became Christianity believed that the prophesied messiah had come, the sects that became Judaism varied from believing that the messiah had yet to come to there was no messiah at all. There were also many other Jewish religious sects at the same time that have long since disappeared.

The original Christian OT was the Greek Septuagint translation (which was also used by Greek speaking Jews of the time). The text of the Septuagint does more closely agree with Christian theology than the modern Masoretic Hebrew text does (But was translated long before Christianity began). Oddly enough most modern Christian bible translations choose to translate their OT from the Masoretic text not the Septuagint, so the OT that most Christians read today agrees more with the theology of Judaism than with Christianity.

The old city of Jerusalem is sacred to what 3 religions?

Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Though Islam doesn't view Jerusalem in the same manner as Judaism or Christianity. For Judaism and Christianity, Jerusalem is place of the world's foundation and the city where G-d's presence once rested. Islam's holy city is actually Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. Islam's claim to Jerusalem is political, not religious (or at least not at all in the way Christians and Jews view Jerusalem).

Is progressive Judaism the same as reform Judaism?

No. Reform Judaism is a specific Jewish movement. It is one of the progressive movements, but Humanist Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism and the Jewish Renewal Movement each have a legitimate claim to being progressive, and even Conservative Judaism has a claim to the title. The distinction between progressive Judaism and liberal Judaism is more than a bit vague.
