When I place an order, I have the option to set price as Percentage Distance from the current market rate. I am then quoted an Amount to Spend etc.

Its not clear, however, if the quoted priced is automatically updated when the market rate changes. It seems like its not.

Some people coming into BitSquare may falsely assume that rates are automatically updated when choosing a Percentage Distance, as is done on LocalBitcoin and similar peer-to-peer exchanges.

The confirmation screen should explicitly declare that the price quoted is fixed.

Also, what about the Percentages quoted in the Order Books (in parentheses next to prices). Are those the Percentages that sellers/buyers selected when creating their orders, or are those actually updated to reflect current distance from market rate?

Yes it is updated.
Why you think its not?

No as said above they are dynamic. If you see that they are not updating please file a bug report.
The market price gets updated every 90 sec. for fiat and 3 min for altcoins.
