Elroy, thank you!
I wonder if the with + N. + V.-ing construction is similar to an adverbial clause of manner in meaning.
Could you please tell me?

 

[elroy]

No, I would not consider it an adverbial clause of manner, but rather an adverbial phrase that gives information about the background of an action or state of being.
