Does the hypo have a mixed liquid volume listed on the front? Usually
for the Kodak stuff it'll say 5L (or whatever) on the front...you simply
dump the powder into that much water and mix.

Fixer is not generally mixed to stock then diluted; rather you mix it
once and use it as mixed. Could you perhaps give us a little more
detail about the chemicals you're using? I'm a little confused. Brands
and sizes would help.
As to uprating your film, a rough rule of thumb is to extend your
processing time by 30% for each stop you're pushing the film. Of
course, every film and developer combination works a little differently,
so you'll want to fool around with the numbers a bit until you get a
good result.
