I’m not super familiar with the competitive math circuit, but my understanding is that this is part of it? People are given a hard problem and either individually or as a team solve it as quickly as possible.
3Blue1Brown has a video where he sort of does this for a hard Putnam problem. I say “sort of” because he’s not solving the problem in real time so much as retrospectively describing how one might solve it.
Yep, I touched on this above. Personally, I’m less interested in this type of problem solving than I am in seeing someone build to a well-known but potentially easier to prove theorem, but I suspect people solving IMO problems would appeal to a wider audience.

Do you know of any videos on this? Ideally while the person is narrating their thoughts out loud.

Yeah, that is one of my favorite videos by 3Blue1Brown and more like it would be pretty good.
