The connection to the MySQL database server and the video/music databases is (or should be) no different from other Kodi clients, also when it comes watched status or resume point.
When you are in a season listing of a particular TV show, and one of the episodes of that TV show is updated to 'watched' via a different Kodi client, yes you will need to refresh the listing manually on your own Kodi client, as Kodi does not update such data "on-the-fly". It requires a 'roundtrip' to the database. So, go back to the TV show's main information page on your Kodi client, and re-enter that season you just left before. All episodes' info should now be updated.
Doing a skin reload will also update all video info. Right now, Kodi 17 unfortunately does not auto-refresh data on every screen. Perhaps this will be different in Kodi 18 Leia.
