[Logan King] “BUT for some stupid reason the movement is not updating in the main comp and seems weird.”
As Cassius wrote it is due to the time remapping applied to the Eyes composition. Remove it and make the composition longer and extend the elements within the other comps.

Try an adjustment layer with a blur and the transform effect set to scale.
Make a track matte composition of the moving lines and use apply that as a matte to the adjustment layer.
Fade the adjustment layer or the track matte using opacity for timing control.
Here is a rough approximation in CS6.

The After Effects help file has many useful examples which can assist in understanding how the expression language is used.
Familiarity with any scripting language and JavaScript in particular is helpful.
In addition there is a book on expressions:

If you’re doing this with a shape layer using trim paths, its likely that the layer’s anchor point needs to move.
Scale and other transforms are connected to the anchor point.

You can get part way there using the Bad TV preset. Add a track matte for the pixelated look.
Here’s a start:

MP4 format is compressed and not ideal for After Effects. If you are able to transcode the MTS file to a lossless format for use in After Effects that will produce a better result.

MP4 is a compressed file format – After Effects does better with uncompressed source footage that contains whole frames.
Best practice is to render uncompressed from After Effects and then use Adobe Media Encoder to transcode to the format you require.

Never seen this in 15 years of teaching in Windows based labs on *any* otherwise functional hardware.
From XP to Win 8, on custom boxes or off-the-shelf Dells.
This looks like a hardware issue, or some sort of driver conflict. How annoying.
