Both issues were addressed in Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna. There is a new tool for automatic updates called mintUpdate and in Daryna mintInstall was made more user-friendly and now comes with a search engine.
Daryna stable should be out this week. If you want to stay with Celena, the way you use mintInstall is simply by browsing the software portal http://www.linuxmint.com/software, then from there you get a .mint file and by clicking on it it will launch mintInstall.
