1. How to sync up zcash blockchain? Is it automatic?

1. When you started zcashd -daemon, blockchain is automatic sync up.
2. I normally used the command ./zcash-cli getinfo to check the staus.

Thanks for this info, how can I check if blocks sync up to latest in my client? ./zcash-cli getinfo, this command?
