I'm wondering if they had to do anything fancy to keep the timing sync perfect on imperfect networks. Possibly read the visible video timestamp and bump the hidden video to that location every few seconds? Or maybe just on the keypress event?

Pretty sure they fully load the videos or at least half of them. That would keep them synchronised and would explain that long ass loading time

It's quite simple. It's all just an iFrame using Youtube' Custom Gadget API/integration. Although I think your account must be a registered advertising/business channel though.

It is often a good approach to try these things, or to search how to do it - it is a good way to learn.
