-- Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone has been very active lately and appears ready to set a record for number of eruptions in a year. What is tied to this increase in activity?

Hard to say. Geysers do this frequently, alternating between periods of more and less activity (Giant is another good example). One possibility is that more water is available due to years of heavy snow, but geyser plumbing systems are also notoriously fickle and change often.
