A few Nepenthes questions

Hi

I have had my Nepenthes plant for about 2-3 months. It started out as two 4 inch tall stalks. Now, just that amount of time later, there are WAY, WAY, WAAAAYYYY, more stalks. I can't even count them all, it's so THICK! Every 2 weeks I check on it, there are at LEAST 1 to 3 new suckers! I'm telling you, it's growing like a friggen weed! One of the main stalks is even branching out(Currently with two official growing points). The other main stalk tried to branch but one of the growing points dried up. Oh well. Regardless, I think it really REALLY loves me and it's location. So, here're my questions:

1)How fast is the average speed that these plants grow?

2)What is the mature height of the Nepenthes?

3)How do I control/propagate this plant?

4)What is the lifespan of these plants?

Thanks for any help. I had never seen a plant this happy with the indoor conditions I have to offer. It's by far, the FASTEST plant I have EVER grown. I am SO proud of it.
