Probably meaning 2 here.

Again probably meaning 2 here.

No, ending plus .
> Does it mean: "I'm taking a stance to confront/face it (problem/issue)"?
Yes, that is the gist of it, but the part implies that they are making gradual improvements, so it's more like "I am becoming more and more able to face the problem" etc. when used as meaning 2 above (but not for meaning 1, body posture) is quite a vague catch-all word in Japanese so sometimes you can throw it away when translating.
