Funny thing, while he's displaying certain new behaviors, old one's have disappeared. Tensley no longer frantically paces or humps the cat. That's a good thing! |
You need to begin correcting any undesirable behaviors now. A neuter will not be a magical fix to aggression. What exactly is he doing that is aggressive?

I've associated that with teething but his nips are really starting to hurt! I wonder if that is one of the behaviors your vet is referring to being able to change? |
Humping is not sexual in a puppy it is dominance to you or whatever else he is humping. If he does this just distract him with a toy and redirect his attention.
You puppy is still a baby and yes he is teething. If he bites at your hands inappropriately once again redirect his attention to a chew toy to help with teething. How old was he when you got him? Sometimes when they leave their mother and litter mates too early they will have inappropriate behaviors. Neutering will not help with biting associated with teething.
