A: Second sentence is more natural.

However, “set myself up to do something” means you’ve done something to cause yourself to be trapped in a situation where you have no choice but to do it. Hence it has a negative notion to this type of expression. In this case, it means you have no choice but to confess your love.

A: They are different. "Confess" is usually more serious and/or personal: "He confessed that he had cheated on her." If someone tells the police that they committed a crime, that admission is called a confession.

"Admit" is usually less serious, "I admitted that I hadn't heard of it," and it's often brought about by others prompting or asking.

A: They mean almost the exact same thing, but "confess" sounds more serious to me. :/

For example:
"I admit, he's a great player." (It would not be normal to use "confess" here.)

"I need to confess to you something I've been keeping from you for the past 15 years..." (This sounds very serious and "admit" would not be appropriate here.)

A: It is the same thing just confess to means you are being specific to what you are confessing to whether it's a crime or confessing love to someone.

A: You would usually say 'I've got to confess' if it was something more serious for example 'i have to confess that it was me who stole the bag.' I admit is the one you would use more often for example: i admit it was me who finished all the rice.

A: I need to tell you something.

A: It depends on the context. That is an appropriate statement that is widely understood, but you could also say what does it mean to speak out about your faith or what does it mean to be outspoken about your beliefs. Just depends on what you are talking about.

A: 1 is OK
2) The more sugar she consumes, the higher the risk of getting sick

When you say "the more the risk", it already means that the risk is raised, so the "raise" at the end is not needed. Furthermore, "higher" is more commonly used than "more" when we talk about risks.
