If you fail a challenge, do you still get the reward and progress?

Usually yes. You take the failure consequences, typically damage, but the story generally continues and you keep the reward; some failures branch to other paths or hidden rewards, and failing story text that says to turn to another paragraph is followed too. You cannot skip a challenge to come back later unless the story offers another choice.
