Yes, you selected "Automatically update selected Playlists only", so it 
only updated the playlists you selected.

Yes. If you simply added one playlist on your computer, and everything 
else was the same, simply select "Automatically update all songs and 
playlists". It will add any new songs and/or playlists, and leave the 
old ones there. There is also a third option you could choose: " 
Manually manage songs and playlists". This is a bit of a pain, but you 
can specify exactly which you want to add or delete.

You are simply clicking faster than you are reading. The mind-reading 
option is not functional in the iTunes software yet, so you will have to 
specify precisely what you want.
