A1: To "mope about something" is to be very sad about something.

A2: "Play-by-play" or "blow-by-blow" are sports idioms, that mean everything as it happened in great detail.

A3: "Up to" can involve willingness, but it is mostly about being able. "Up for" is more about willingness and preference.

A4: In this case, it sounds like somebody helped another person to stand up.
