Cool Hyper hamster

So my hamster Edward is very active. He’s always been really hyper. I updated both of my hamsters cages because Edward started bar chewing whenever I was in the room so now they’re in a large bin cage. I thought this would stop his attempts at breaking free, but he’s still constantly flailing on the sides of the cage to get out. He runs in his wheel for no more than 5 seconds, runs around, flails, goes back on wheel for 5 seconds. Repeat. My main questions are:

1. Is this normal? I’ve searched up a couple times and often times they do put it down to hyperness which I’m pretty sure it is so I’ve never really been worried about.
2. For hamsters like this, is it better to have a more ‘cluttered’ cage or somewhat minimal? My hamster Arthur goes in his sand bath and will happily run on his wheel the entire night - his cage is more spacious, less stuff, he has never burrowed and has always slept in the same wooden house. Edward burrows kind of and sleeps in the bedding (where it’s higher up, like a LOT of inches deep), and to try and satisfy him in some way I’ve added houses, tubes, cork etc around the entire cage, but I was wondering for a hyper hamster like him is it best to keep it more spacious and level for him to run easier/freely? I’m just not sure how to properly satisfy him. He’s very cute/unique/funny but my gosh is it annoying sometimes lol
3. I do let him free roam every night if possible. I’ll do this for a while and then he starts running like crazy fast. I’ve always gotten worried whether this means he’s getting stressed and wants to go back in. Every time he does this I put him back in but he’ll end up being annoying either straight away or later in the night. He wakes me up nearly every night doing SOMETHING annoying. Do I leave him out, let him out more frequently or what?

Thank you !
