But I still want to know what kind of person is this alternative Byakugan-Tobi. Also maybe some his advansed Byakugan techniques aka already shown ET Grid Palm will appear.

I looked up the voice actor for the masked man in these episodes and indeed it's the same voice actor that does Hizashi's voice, so that pretty much confirms it, but isn't he supposed to be dead? Well, it's a dream so I guess anything is possible.
