Hit's face the entire time against regular/SSJ Goku was that of curiosity and amusement, he's the first person to ever be able to predict his time-skip ability. The problem is that you're assuming he's using a fixed amount of power the entire time before he gets serious against SSG Goku, which doesn't necessarily have to be the case.
Sure, I can see that idea being plausible, but the fact remains he only presented such mannerisms
after he was hit by Base Goku, and cut no less. The only case of amusement prior was just a smirk, and that wouldn't really count as one of interest when he clearly thought Galu was just an overconfident fool at first. I could go with the idea of him holding back his effort a bit due to the tournament setting, but being cut by Base Goku does seem a fairly telling sign; though then again, the same Hit took SSG Goku's Ki blast fairly well prior to an obvious power up.
The general escalation of the fight also suggests an increase in effort, if anything, considering Hit abandoned the whole pocket hands style and even said Goku was underestimating him before fighting his SSJ self, something that'd seem very unlikely if he was using less Ki than against an opponent Goku had already seen him beat.
He adjusted his power to take out SSB Vegeta, just as he did to fight SSJ Goku.
Did he really, though? Sure, he wasn't fighting all-out as we'd see when Goku went SSG, but that level was made apparent to not be one he's tapped into for a while. Hit isn't really noted to alter his more standard level to take down SSB Vegeta.

By the way, do you think SSJG is a fixed level for the gap between it and the weaker forms to shrink? Or is it just one of those numerical inconstencies that happens with multipliers?
Kind of a bit of both. It's certainly a lower gap after the ritual with, but is essentially the same as other SSJ forms at this point beyond offering a better boost than the lower ones.
