I think we'd (at least I'd) need to know more of the context for the first question. (Though personally I'm horrible at translation.)

嫌になりそう has the なる verb in there so there's a sense of becoming. Something like "would start to dislike" but again more context would help to figure out the best wording.

"seems to dislike" would just be 嫌そう

1) The full sentence is 胸の奥の鏡に映るのは ありのままの自分の素顔だけさ.

2) The full sentence is 時々なぜかぼくたちは 全てが嫌になりそうで本当はまだ進めるって知ってるのに.

There's a translation here:

Hmm, I've taken a look at her translation but I don't find it that accurate grammar-wise. For example, ありのままの自分の素顔 translated to 'An honest face of mine just as it is' doesn't sound very natural...

I don't think it's bad. I'm sure it's much better than anything I could come up with. I can never make Japanese sound natural in English myself, unless I allow myself some liberties (and usually not even then). Perhaps someone else can make a better suggestion, but what about something like "just my (simple?) unadorned face" or "just myself as I am"?

Are you actually trying to re-fit English words to the original rhythm in order to make a recording? (a la 99 Red balloons / 99 Luftballons)
That's a monumental challenge! Hats off to you! :^) I think it can only be done easily in languages which already have similar sentence structure (and are largely mutually intelligible),
like Czech and Slovak, or Norwegian and Danish.
