is this isshuukan friends we previously known in manga and anime that got novel adaptation?
Yes. To be precise, it's a novelisation of the live action film, which in turn is based on the manga.

It will never happen. The studio that made the backgrounds for Hai to Gensou went in bankrupt
Do you know the studio's name?
Atelier BWCA
It didn't go bankrupt, the director is really sick so he closed the studio, maybe he'll reopen it when he's better.

Well, it's Kurumi's LN after all.

Good second week sales, hopefully it can keep on chugging along to reach 40k before falling below cut-off. Sales seem to have been getting steadily lower for it which is kind of understandable given the amount of volumes and time it took between some recent volumes.

Rokudenashi and Knight & Magic in themselves are so popular, or is it the result of the announcement of their future anime adaptations?
Anime adaptation announcements have next to no impact on sales, and both these series have been doing well for some time before the adaptations were announced. That said, adaptations can boost sales of new volumes slightly up to a month or so before they start airing, and Akashic Records does seem to be doing better than the last couple of volumes, both of which narrowly missed out on 20k sales.

That is if Tappei-sensei manages to keep up his 1-2 month release pace which I'm confident in. I think you should expect some major news regarding the anime around the time the MF Summer festival happens.
Judging by the current projects of White Fox, we should wait for the next season in 2018, as it seems to me. For example, a twelve-episodes series of 1-2 arcs.

At the recent Sugoi Awards in which Re:Zero won the two categories of anime and light novel the producer Tanaka ( who was actually the person that pushed the series to a point where it got its anime project greenlit ) confirmed that while the original ( novel ) is still ongoing the anime will continue as well and we should expect future performances.
They actually put his quote on an advertisement for the series so here if you need visual confirmation

Hopefully we will get a season two of this one day
How much more volumes for Re:Zero until we have enough content for a 25 episode 2nd season?
Judging from how the 4th arc has been streamlined and hence shortened a bit, I'd say once arc 5 has concluded it should be ready. That would be around Volume 18/19 if not too many changes are being made. Then again the anime is already confirmed to continue so it's all a matter of waiting for more content.
Wait for real? where was it announced?
