If you awaken a creature, say a small animal, it becomes a magical beast, gains 2hd, etc. Does this mean you go back and figure out all of its hp, attack bonus, etc as if it were a magical beast or you just progress the original creature type 2hd than change its type to magical beast, doing no other changes. Would really appreciate everyone's answer/opinion =D

So it would gain darkvision, but keep its hit points, BAB progression, etc. Even any future HD have this same progression. Skills is a bit funny because you simultaneously increase intelligence to where it might actually have more than one skill/level and increase the hit dice. I'd probably give it the normal animal levels at the low intelligence, but the two new hit dice with skills at its increased intelligence.
