''This problem has been wolfing me since I've learned about it" meaning "eating me"?

ostap.
No. This sense of "wolf" only occurs in phrases like:
The kids really wolfed down their birthday cake.
I was so hungry I just wolfed down that burger.

This problem could, however, be "eating you up" or even "devouring you".

"Don't wolf down your food so quickly." I guess "so quickly" would be redundant here as it means to eat it very quickly.

Strictly speaking it is redundant but it wouldn't sound strange.
