Rules of Evidence won't compel Hawaii to unseal a document. If it isn't a Hawaiian State Court Judge, or a Federal Judge ordering them to do so, they simply don't have to.

But once this gets appealed into the Federal courts, couldn't that then be demanded? Or do they have to live with just the existing evidence presented?

Presumably the Federal court could be presented additional evidence. I don't see them as having any restraints unless they just want them.
