Few questions about a text

"With 2PM’s comeback drawing closer, fans are getting more hyped up as 2PM’s tracklist for their mini-album ‘STILL 2:00PM‘ was recently discovered on the Korea Music Copyright Association website."

1.Does the italic with have the same meaning with the with of "With prices going up all the time, we found it harder to make ends meet", which denotes passage of time?

2.How degree does "hyped up" sound informal? I know it paraphrases "excited" but should non-native speakers avoid using the phrase?

"Meanwhile, the countdown timer on 2PM’s official website is still counting down, with only less than a day left until the group reveal their first teaser. Thanks to our tipper Dracx, an interesting fact was pointed out that at times, the timer randomly skips some of the seconds, which could mean that the teaser may be revealed earlier than the indicated real time."

3.What role does the italic only take in the phrase?

4.What does the italic that indicate?

5.Is the italic could a Sequence of tenses?
