Answer 1

Your project is actually as up-to-date as it can be currently.

NPM won't simply install the Latest version of a package unless that version is also Wanted.

The resulting field 'wanted' shows the latest version according to the version specified in the package.json, [...]

And, for each that you listed, the Wanted and Current versions already match.

Package              Current  Wanted ...

oauth                  0.9.9   0.9.9 ...
require-all            0.0.3   0.0.3 ...
bignumber.js           1.0.1   1.0.1 ...
request               2.27.0  2.27.0 ...
through                2.2.7   2.2.7 ...

An attempt to force oauth to its current Latest of 0.9.10, for example, would actually be considered invalid as twit has 0.9.9 listed exactly:

"dependencies": {
  "oauth": "0.9.9"
},

$ npm ls
...
└─┬ twit@1.1.11
  └── oauth@0.9.10 invalid

npm ERR! invalid: oauth@0.9.10 ...\node_modules\twit\node_modules\oauth
