Is Quantum Computing computational power increasing exponentially now?

Yes, we have gone from being able to factor the number 1 to being able to factor the number 2 in the last 20 years.

Yes - and on two fronts. The number of qubits that can be entangled is currently going up at an exponential rate, and with each additional qubit the power of the machine (in a certain sense) doubles.
