you've backed kick-starters right? I'm considering backing one, but I can't find answers to my questions:
1. Is the many take out of your account when you pledge or when it ships?
2. Can I up my pledge for example level one says 100 dollars, but level two says $125, does my level one count towards level two or is it a separate 125?

If it is kickstarter, they take the money when the campaign ends (If it reached its funding goal, If it did not reach it no money is withdrawn). Will then take a few days before the money is transferred from kickstarter to the one doing the campaign. NOTE: other crowdfunding platforms might have different settings and may allow partial funding.
As for the other question, it is usually pay X dollars get level A,, that contains AA things. Pay Y dollars to get level B which usually contains stuff AA + B) read the descriptions carefully what is included at each level. If you want more things than a level gives you, you have to add more money and get addons. Some (not all) uses a pledgemanager that enables you to add extra money afterwards to get more stuff. like for examples an extra copy of item C.
And even If you can use addons to add stuff to a lower level to get the equivalent of a higher level, that will often be more expensive, as the higher levels often have a built in discount.
Edit: some kickstarter will also contain things that are exclusive to the kickstarter and not available when the product hits.
While the campaign is active, you can also change the level you pledge for. You might be able to do it afterwards If a pledgemanager is used, but no guarantee. If you have specific questions you would have to ask the people running it.

I am the mysterious professor.
The gentleman from Sweden is correct. The money is collected at the end of the campaign. Shipping could be calculated at a later time so you may pay it at that time. Yes, tier 2 will often include tier 1. Tier 5 will include 4,3,2, and 1. Always read each one just to make sure.
$125 to $150 seems to be the sweet spot. Higher price points are for the die hards and the retailers.
Stretch goals are often added in at no additional cost. Add on will probably cost extra. Keep that in mind.
Something else to keep in mind. Many are getting stuff from suppliers in China, and there is a backlog on shipping containers so there are long waits. Stuff is rarely distributed on time, this is just causing a longer delay. Be patient and keep an eye out for updates. The good ones keep their backers informed.
What's the Kickstarter? Anything some of us might be interested in?

And regarding stretchgoals, usually it is that they will only be included if they reach a certain amount of money (or in some cases likes on facebook etc). These types of goals often include things like better quality of the paper for printed products, or some more material that will be included, like new schools of magi something, or extra adventures included. Sometimes (though this is very rare), the people running the campaign will thing that yes, that extra thing adds so much value to the product that even if they didn't reach the goal for it, they decide to eat the cost and include it for free. Other types of stretchcgoals are that they unlock things as addons. Could be things they had planned on releasing later on as expansion books if the core version sold well, but they now realize they have the money to make and release from the start
One thing to be vary of though is if too many stretchgoals are met, that it might delay the production, as they suddenly have much more material they need to write

Either i'm not understanding (highly likely) or you're not understanding my question.
For example level 1 is 100 dollars level 2 is 150 and thus the difference is 50 between the two levels, would I need to just put in the difference or the total for level two or is it dependent on the KS?

OK, I think I understand your question...
Ok, the levels are separate. You get the contents of one level. Nothing else.. If you want to get a higher level, you would need change your existing pledge to that matching level.
Looking at the kickstarter you sent as an example.
The following will print as many as needed.
- The $100 level would be 1 collected book. Your choice which one out of 6 different as far as I can tell. This is the standard version of that book.
- The $125 level would be the same book, but also with an exclusive slipcase for it.
- The $500 level is as far as I can make out all 6 different books in a special box.
- The $600 level is the same as the 500, but with the slipcases.
The following levels they will only print a certain amount of. So these will be more of an collectors item.
* the $550 level is the same as the 500 but you also get a signed extra print.
And so on...
And it seems that you can add on extra copies in the pledgemanager later (though some items that are limited might run out. If you really want those, you need to pledge for that level as is. and the level where you can be in the comic is sold out.)
So say you go for the @125 level, you can then in the pledge manager add on $100 to get an extra copy (without slipcase) of one volume. It is a bit unclear if you can go from the $100 and then add $25 to get the slipcase later. It should be doable, but you need to ask the ones running it for confirmation about it.
edit: As far as I can tell, the campaign has already concluded. That normally means if you haven't pledged for an amount, you can not do so afterwards. However, I would recommend checking with the ones running it if that would be possible. If not, and you have not pledged, then you are out of luck. You might get hold of some of the stuff at conventions o some stores, but no guarantees.

It's still ongoing, and honestly, it looks like doing it this way might be cheaper than picking up each one individually,which according to amazon is about 250....but my math is more than likely off lol

Not as far as I can tell. They might still have a preorder, but that is different.
Observe the difference between these two images. The one called capture.png is for the Power-rangers. At the bottom it says how many backers pledged a certain amount and helped bring it to life. That is the text when it is concluded. image named Capture2.png is the status for a live project I have bookmarked.
