What does your background check status say now after the ghost update? It can be IP1 or IP2.

If you login, you account status in the login page would say application updated, when you go into the profile there would not be any chenge in an my field. When you come logout and login it would say submitted. That’s the understanding of a ghost update: it could mean that there’s some movement in your application. These updates come usually when you move to IP1 or IP2. If it’s IP2 then you can expect the PPR sooner.
You can safely ignore it - once IRCC have acknowledged receipt, you're good to go.
VFS' only role is to collect and pass the biometrics. Probably the notifications wrongly assume that the biometrics are part of visa applications lodged with VFS. For many VFS centres, the visa applications probably do form a large majority of the bio-enrollments they do.
I’m not sure if it can be paid without a request. To what I know you either pay it upfront while submitting the application or pay later when they ask you to do so. Probably someone who knows better can throw some insight.

It depends, if you think your application is pretty prefect with a small history of traveling, not too many experience put, also no many dependents with the age of 18 or above. THEN, yes...you could be close from PPR. The simpler your application the faster it get processed, the shorter time your security check might takes.
Best,
