No, "weniger" is in the comparative degree.

If it's comparative, would "wenigere" be more appropriate to agree with "Zeit"?

No, "less and less" is different from just "less".
"Intensifiers: to indicate a progressive development, English repeats the comparative ("Things are getting better and better"). German can do that ("Es wird kälter und kälter") or, more usually, use "immer": "Es wird immer besser.""
