Answer 1

First of all, proof read your post. Generally, grammatical and punctuation errors can be deciphered, but where words are critical to presenting your issue clearly, you must type those sentences correctly. Otherwise, it can be confusing and turn off someone who may want to help.
"...which can be shown without and filters and want data for current year." What does this mean?
"...And weeks columns have to update its week no based on that week." What does this mean?
In an attempt to answer you question, do this:
1) Base your query filters on the "current running year." This will satisfy the requirements for displaying data from the first report.
2) Now add 4 "sales" columns (i.e., same column, but 4 instances of it). In each of these columns, click on the fx button, click on Filters, go to your Time dimension and select the appropriate week, and then click "OK." Now, each of these columns will hold the measure value for the particular week while the "sales" column will have the "running total" for the whole time period.
Once you get the above to work, you can work on automating this by substituting a function in place of the hard-coded week number values.
