Tracking is easy. They've been tracking ICBMs since ICBMs were a thing. Flying higher than the International Space Station and at Mach 20+ makes them incredibly easy to track.
Shooting down, not as much. There are systems that can (AEGIS SM-3, GMD, etc), but they can only handle a handful before they're overwhelmed.
Directed energy weapons will make it easier, but they don't exist yet
