Original Question

When playing a chord progression on the piano do we play the same notes with both hands?
Q. I'm confused, I learning the 1 4 5 chord progression and I dont understand what I'm suppose to be doing with my left hand?

A. There are thousands of different ways to voice any particular chord - and all of them are equally correct. Learning different inversions and larger and smaller voicings of your chords will be an essential part of your education as a musician
However, a good place to start is by playing each chord in closed triad position (each note just one skip away from the other) with your right hand, and playing just the root note of the chord with your left. So, this:

RH - 5G - 5C - 5D - 5G
RH - 3E - 3A - 3B - 3E
RH - 1C - 1F - 1G - 1C

LH - 5C - 2F - 1G - 5G

Notice your RH fingering remains 135 on each chord while your left hand uses a more connective fingering. The next logical step after that is to learn how to invert the IV and V chords in order to connect the inner voicing better. So, this:

RH - 5G - 5G - 5A - 4G
RH - 3E - 2D - 3F - 2E
RH - 1C - 1B - 1C - 1C

LH - 5C - 2F - 1G - 5C

Note that this voicing uses the same identical note names as in the first excerpt, but they're rearranged this time and spelled in a different order (BDG instead of GBD). This is called playing the chord in an inversion. When learning this new excerpt, try to connect your fingers smoothly whenever possible, for example, connect the 3E in the first chord smoothly to the 2D in the second. And as always, connect your bass notes smoothly throughout.

How do I know what notes to play on piano?
Q. I'm trying to write my own songs on the piano, I know about chord progressions but my problem is what notes do I hit are they random or if I'm playing a C chord am I only able to play C,E,G until I hit a new chord? does anybody have any links that will help me or anything?

A. Accidentals. They are various notes (only a few, otherwise you might as well switch between chords), that have the flat, sharp, or natural sign in fornt of them, that are not part of the chord.
