Yes, quests must be active to get credit for the updates.

No, you will not lose progress by deactivating a quest.

There are not many quests that stay activated for days on end, more often than not you'll turn off all the sortie (red) quests and turn on all the expedition(blue), supply(yellow), arsenal(brown), modernization(purple) quests while you wait for repairs or morale. Once your girls are ready to go (and have made sure no expeditions are coming back soon) you can activate all the sortie quests that you are trying to complete, rinse and repeat untill everything is done.
