Juvenile L. Parahybana

no need to stress over it everything the sling is doing is totally normal. just make sure its water dish is always full

if that’s the case, then why does it keep digging holes from the right and left instead of digging out from the front of the hide where it blocked it with substrate?

It's making a burrow.....in t terms, it's building a home.

if it had more dirt & space it would be burrowing downwards now...

Setting up its burrow the way it wants it to be, probably wants more room below the surface but can't dig down due to the low level of substrate as mentioned by @Wolfram1, so is digging to the side instead.

Please elaborate. How much?

"Tarantulas can easily fall and die from a ruptured abdomen if they are not arboreal. They should have no more than approx. 1.5x their body length in space from the ground to the top of their enclosure" - good rule for terrestrials in general.

My juvenile L. Parahybana is still burrowed and I noticed it’s been rubbing its legs together for some time now while standing still. Is this is a sign of a near moult?

 

[cold blood]

No...it's simple grooming

 

[FatBadBay]

Sounds like it's planning world domination
