1) yes you're moving out of a threatened square
2) 15, you're flight speed up is 30 so you'd need to go half of that.
1. Yes.
2. 15 feet. Since you have to go at half speed in order to not increase the DC by 10. When ascending your full movement is 30ft so to use Acrobatics it should be the 15 feet.
1) Yes.
2) It would halve it again. But a couple of notes:
a) You can't fly straight up (without unchained fly skill rank 20).
b) The half speed for gaining altitude is there to replace the diagonal movement cost of moving up at an angle (see FAQ). Personally I'd just drop the half speed rule and count the diagonals just like you would for movement in 2-d.
So you normally have a base movement of 60? That's pretty fast.
A normal human with a normal base movement of 30 would need to fly up at half speed and use Acrobatics at half again so would only be able to move 5 feet. Which would mean that at the end of their move action only moving 5' they would still be in a square threatened by both enemies. Which would mean that their next move action they would still ascend and use acrobatics and therefore only move another 5'.
Total of 10' requiring two move actions and two Acrobatics checks.
A character with a base speed of 40 or more could move 10' in that first move action which might put them out of threat range. If they wanted to use their second move action to continue ascending, they probably would not need Acrobatics at all, so could move at just half speed instead of quarter speed and therefore could move much farther in the second move action if they wish.
a) You can't fly straight up (without unchained fly skill rank 20).
No one said they were flying straight up.

The OP said they are using Flight Hex. That's why its 60 feet.

This isn't true. You can fly straight up with a DC 20 fly check. The unchained skill unlock allows you to fly straight up at full speed (not halved) if you make a DC 35 fly check.

Are you unfamiliar with the fly spell?
