Why did Vader never improve his suit?

Darth Vader never fully upgraded his suit because the procedure was extremely risky, risking death by disconnecting his life support; the suit's pain fueled his connection to the Dark Side and intimidated enemies; and he was kept in it by Emperor Palpatine, who designed it as a constant reminder of Anakin Skywalker's failure, potentially hindering Vader's full potential and preventing him from returning to the light. While he made minor modifications, a complete overhaul was too dangerous and went against his role as the Emperor's enforcer.

Is Darth Plagueis technically Anakin's father?

No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
