IF one is paying less than the standard Medicare rate due to SS increases being smaller than Medicare increases, (so currently paying less than the current $148.50/month), with the large SS increase next year, could the Medicare rate increase by the 2022 amount AND more to make up for paying less now?

Yep. As long as it doesn’t exceed the SS increase.

Yes you can pay them now or you can pay them later. This happens because of the rule that your SS benefits cannot go down.
