About にもまして
にもまして is a structure used to imply that something has surpassed a certain point, and will be used particularly when that thing was at a consistent level in the past, but has now risen. Common translations include 'more than ever, (B)', or 'even more than (A), (B)'.
にもまして is simply a combination of the case-marking particle に, the adverbial particle も 'even', and the て-form of the う-Verb 増す 'to increase'. The に will be attached to a noun which it is marking as the comparison point from which 増す indicates an increase or growth. This means that the literal translation is simply 'even increasing from (A), (B)'.
This pattern will regularly follow words like 誰 'who', 何 'what', or いつ 'when'. In these cases, (A) is just being expressed as 'anyone', 'anything', or 'ever', rather than something more specific.
