A lot of this is normal hoggie "drama noodle" behavior. Mine acts the same way in many cases.
I'm going to third the suggestion of changing to a new enclosure, especially since your hognose has figured out he can rip the mesh and escape, he will keep doing it.
I run mine in racks/tubs, but you can use just one tub as long as it has a secure, tight-fitting lid. Put in 1-2 inches of aspen shavings, a heat pad on a thermostat under one side, and a water bowl. He'll burrow under the aspen and play excavator.
When you handle him I'd suggest rubbing a bit of lemon scent hand sanitizer or a few drops of white vinegar on your hands. The sharp smell will turn off his food response, so he shouldn't mistake your pinky finger for a mouse pinky any more.
