Interestingly, I always have the same experiences in these days while meditating. I place my consciousness into the center of my head or a little bit backwards, and let my thoughts cease. Then I start to feel the third eye’s gyration which pulls me (probably the core-self, I hope I am using the appropriate term) towards to the center of the eyebrows. After that, this movement is stopped at one point, it feels as if I couldn’t go any further. I also feel a moderately strong pressure between the eyebrows during that. I cannot judge whether it is progress or not, but I have been experiencing these things every day for the last two weeks.

This is sure advancement.
You must also account for the invisible analytical orb (buddhi).
What happens to it when you are pulled to the front?
The orb is perceptible by its activities which are the creations and illustrations of thoughts.
Wherever the thoughts occurred is where it is.
Therefore explain is that area shifted or just vanished and if you were still in relationship to that area. Since it is invisible then your own hint about it is based on where the last thought it produced occurred.

It is difficult to give a definite answer to this question.
In most cases my thoughts disappear when this happens. However, I rarely perceive a few images or thoughts after I am pulled to the front, but that time the pulling sensation is weaker.
The last place of them is their original location, the frontal part of my head, but sometimes they occur closer to my forehead.

We need to know if that place where the thoughts occur, is involved in the third eye perceptions or is involved in the pull towards the third eye.
Please check on this in the meditation sessions and be precise about it.
The relationship between the core-self and the thinking mechanism has to be tapped into. It is abstract and barely visible but we have to get to the bottom of it if we really want to get into advanced meditation.

I tried to observe these details in my last meditation sessions. It is possible that these informations are still not enough, in this case I try to observe more details, now I can say the followings:
When I start to meditate, I place my consciousness to the center of my head. When the pulling sensation begins I still have thoughts. Their location are between the observing self and the forehead. When my focus is correct, then the pulling sensation become stronger. At that moment my thoughts disappear.
I find it important to mention that I have some trouble with controlling this event. When I focus on that movement then it usually intensifies, and all of my thoughts suddenly disappear. Later, when I lose the correct focus, the pulling movement weakens and thoughts, images appear again in the frontal part of my head, between the observing self and the forehead.
