Does hypocapnia cause hyperventilation?
Actually, No. Hyperventilation causes Respiratory Alkalosis. This is can be seen by ABG values of an increased pH and a decreased PaCO2 because where the person is breathing so quickly, they are blowing off the CO2 and retaining more O2.
Why should you be able to hold your breath longer after hyperventilation?
Because hyperventilation clears out more of the carbon dioxide out of your system, and it's the build-up of CO that controls your breathing reflex. Do note that hyperventilating is a Bad Idea, particularly when diving. Lack of oxygen is what knocks you unconscious, but it's the build up of CO which forces you to breathe.

Why do people with anxiety blow into paper bags?
When someone has a panic or anxiety attack, it's too easy to hyperventilate. This just aggravates the condition. By breathing into a paper bag, the person is forced to rebreathe some of his/her own carbon dioxide, preventing hyperventilation and easing some of the symptoms of the attack.
