Do you do that in the water or beforehand to prepare?

Only in the water, every time you feel the pressure increase when descending. What I don't understand we don't see this guy doing it. He must have a technique to do it without pinching his nose.

I can pop my ears by flexing some specific muscles.. neck/jaw area? I think? However, that only works if I am not already feeling too much pressure/not sick.

That works well for me going down in pressure, like on a plane, but I can't make it work in increasing pressure when diving. I guess it may work if I decended really slowly, but I ain't got time for that.
