How does this compare with the maximum that they were expecting from the revamped collider? Are there higher energies yet to come? And are there specific questions within the new energy range which they are expecting to answer with it?

So, how much more energy is required to create a black hole?
And a god? RE: First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy! (Ask a particle physisicist)

If General Relativity is correct and the world has three space dimensions, a factor of 1000000000000000 more energy is required to make black holes. If there are some extra space dimensions with micrometer size, we could already be making them, but you can imagine that that is a very speculative scenario. People have already looked for these things and with 8 TeV, none were to be seen. It is doubtful that this will change drastically with 13 TeV. I'm not sure what the god mass and coupling constants are, so...

Erm, duh, that's what they do. But as I said, if this extra dimensions scenario were true, it's not far off. It's hard to assign probabilities to funny theory proposals, and so it's more or less a matter of taste how likely you think it is. It would be one way to explain the hierarchy between the planck energy and the mass of the observed particles - Gravity would actually be much stronger than we observe (and the planck mass much much lower than we think), but we observe Gravity after it has been diluted in several extra space dimensions, and so it looks weak. It's a fun idea to think about.
