I agree with Chicane...he'll get there and to always have the fork/spoon next to him.
DS is 2 and is good with using his utensils if the food is easy to use them on. Otherwise, he gets frustrated and ends up using his hands. When he gets to that point, we do try to help him but don't stress too much. He was about your LO's age when we first started helping him with a spoon (fork came a little later). If you have something that will cling to the spoon, that makes it easy for them to get *something* into their mouth, even though they're not as efficient--or clean--as they'll eventually be.
As for the sippy cup, I would let him start doing it more and more. DS still drinks from a sippy cup about 95% of the time, but we work with him on drinking from normal cups now and then. It's a process
