When I looked it up in my dictionary, all I got was 'tension,' when I have
first hand knowledge that this definition RARELY is used with this word, in
Japanese. Commonly, I see it in テンションが上がる, to express someone is pumped for
something, but are there other uses for this word, in the language, that I may
not be aware of?

How is テンション used in Japanese?
Mostly it's used to describe a mood or atmosphere of excitement or being
pumped up as you said.

In a work context it could also describe a atmosphere of intensity and
collective focus, such as when a team nears a deadline.

The latter usage sometimes approaches the English meaning of stress and
pressure.
