1. 自転車に乗るとよりくっきりと浮かび上がる
a/ In this case, より means "even more", doesn't it?
b/ Does 浮かび上がる mean "to stand out" in this context?

2. 優雅にしなる驚くほど長い脚
I'm guessing that this phrase literally means "legs that bend elegantly which are long enough to make people surprised". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

3. 日本の女子とは一線を画すシルエットが異文化感を後押 しする......!
a/ Does 一線を画す mean "to make a clear distinction from"?
b/ Does 後押しする mean "to add to"?

4. 来日したての留学生ってところか...
I'm pretty sure that this したて is from the verb する, but what exactly is it? This is the first time I've seen this form.

5. Just to be sure, どのみち in this context means "every road", correct?

6. Is 別れねば the negative conditional form of 別れる? Or is it another form?

Finally, と判明 means "to be confirmed as", correct?
1a. Yes.
1b. Yes. "(her features) become even more visible"

2. Literally correct.

3a. Yes.
3b. That's a good one.

4. Are you sure? This "Verb + たて" form is very often used. = "Just ~~ed".
焼きたてのパン
炊(た)きたてのご飯
作りたてのカレー
搾(しぼ)りたてのオレンジジュース

5. No. It means "anyway".

6. Negative conditional.

7. Yes.
